Abstract:
A method for interconnecting solar cell arrays having electrical contacts for interconnection to form a solar cell panel, the method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a substrate:(b) forming an interconnection pattern of electrically conductive areas and non-electrically conductive areas on said substrate;(c) applying an electrically conductive epoxy on said electrically conductive areas of said interconnection pattern;(d) aligning said electrical contacts on one or more of said solar arrays with said electrical conductive areas on said interconnection pattern formed on said substrate; and(e) disposing said solar cell arrays on said substrate such that said electrical contacts are in contact with said electrically conductive areas of said interconnection pattern forming an assembly, defining a joint between said substrate and said one or more solar cell arrays, wherein said substrate is an aluminum hollow foil panel carrier.
