Photovoltaic Cell with Efficient Finger and Tab Layout

A photovoltaic cell has a photosensitive substrate, a plurality of fingers in ohmic contact with the substrate, and a plurality of pads on the substrate. The plurality of pads effectively form a plurality of discontinuous busbars. Two of the fingers extend from a first pad of the plurality of pads....

Zusammenfassung:A photovoltaic cell has a photosensitive substrate, a plurality of fingers in ohmic contact with the substrate, and a plurality of pads on the substrate. The plurality of pads effectively form a plurality of discontinuous busbars. Two of the fingers extend from a first pad of the plurality of pads. Specifically, a given one of the two fingers ("given finger") may connect with a second pad of the plurality of pads. This given finger may have an inter-pad portion between the first and second pads. The cell further has a tab at least partially covering the inter-pad portion of the given finger.
