Abstract:
1. A stacked solar battery device, comprising: a plurality of solar battery modules electrically connected in series, each one module among the plurality of solar battery modules occupying a unique generally planar layer of said stacked solar battery device; each one solar battery module of the plurality of solar battery modules comprising a first connection rod, a second connection rod, and a plurality of light receiving sub-modules, wherein said first connection rod and said second connection rod are arranged in parallel and respectively form one and another of a positive electrode and negative electrode for said one solar battery module, wherein all sub-modules of said one solar battery module are arranged in a common plane defined by said first connection rod and second connection rod and are located between and in direct electrical connection with said first connection rod and said second connection rod; each one sub-module among said all sub-modules in said one solar battery module comprising a plurality of rod-shaped solar battery cells, wherein all rod-shaped solar battery cells in said one sub-module are electrically connected in series and arranged lengthwise side-by-side in said common plane of said one solar battery module, each one rod-shaped cell among said all rod-shaped solar battery cells having a longitudinal axis arranged side-by-side in parallel with said first connection rod and said second connection rod of said one solar battery module, said each one rod-shaped cell, comprising: wherein for said side-by-side arrangement of said all rod-shaped solar battery cells in said one sub-module, the first strap-shaped electrode of a first rod-shaped cell is in physical and ohmic contact with the second strap-shaped electrode of a second rod-shaped cell adjacent to said first rod-shaped cell for said substantial axial length for every adjacency of rod-shaped solar battery cells among said all rod-shaped solar battery cells in said on sub-module; and wherein for a first-end rod-shaped solar battery cell at a first end of said side-by-side arrangement, one of said first strap-shaped electrode and said second strap-shaped electrode is in physical and ohmic contact with one of said first connection rod and said second connection rod for said substantial axial length, and wherein for a second-end rod-shaped solar battery cell at an opposite, second end of said side-by-side arrangement other of said first strap-shaped electrode and second strap-shaped electrode is in physical and ohmic contact with other of said first connection rod and said second connection rod for said substantial axial length.
