Abstract:
1. An electrical connection apparatus for a photovoltaic module comprising: an insulating platform comprising a top side and bottom side; a first contact configured to engage a first lead on a photovoltaic module; a first conductive block wherein the first contact is attached to the first conductive block, the first contact comprising a metal foil loop comprising a first and second portion, wherein the first portion is between the insulating platform and the first conductive block, and the second portion is configured to deform in order to conform to a surface of the first lead; a second contact configured to engage a second lead on a photovoltaic module; a second conductive block wherein the second contact is attached to the second conductive block, the second contact comprising a metal foil loop comprising a first and second portion, wherein the first portion is between the insulating platform and the second conductive block, and the second portion is configured to deform in order to conform to a surface of the second lead; and an electrical power source configured to apply an electrical bias between the first contact and the second contact.
