CONNECTION CELLS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES

A shingled photovoltaic (PV) cell module is provided. The PV cell module includes a first PV cell string and a first connection cell. The first PV cell string includes a plurality of shingled PV cellsegments. Each PV cell segment includes a front electrode and an opposing rear electrode electrically coupled to the front electrode. The front electrode of the PV cell segment is aligned and coupledwith the rear electrode of an adjacent PV cell segment of the plurality of PV cell segments to electrically couple the plurality of PV cell segments in series. The first connection cell includes a ribbon electrode and a first electrode electrically coupled to the ribbon electrode and a first PV cell segment. The ribbon electrode is coupled to a conductor adjacent to the first PV cell string to transfer a power output of the PV cell segments. 提供了种搭接的光伏(PV)电池模块。所述PV电池模块包括第PV电池串和第连接电池。所述第PV电池串包括多个搭接的PV电池段。每个PV电池段包括前电极和电耦合到所述前电极的相对的后电极。所述PV电池段的所述前电极与所述多个PV电池段中的相邻的PV电池段的所述后电极对准并耦合，以将所述多个PV电池段串联电耦合。所述第连接电池包括带状电极和电耦合到所述带状电极和第
