Automated Linear Concentrator Cell Module Assembly

摘要

The objectives of this program were to reduce the cost of linear photovoltaic concentrator cell modules by reducing the cost of interconnection, encapsulation, and module assembly; to design and fabricate equipment for semi-automation; and to fabricate and deliver five (5) prototype modules of approximately four (4) feet in length utilizing semi-automated equipment. All of these objectives have been accomplished. The procedure and equipment are described. (ERA citation 05:034646)
