Optimizing Ribbons Structure For Power Gain In Half-Cell Modules

Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate that modules with halfhalf-cell layout show an increased power by using the triangular ribbon. Firstly, we have studied the impact on power of different triangular ribbon structures by a SunSolve simulation tool. Secondly, on basis of the rectangular and optimizing triangular ribbon structures, we have performed simulation and experimental results for full full-cell modules and half half-cell modules respectively. Both simulation and experimental results agree to a good extent and they show that the power output of half half-cell module with triangular ribbon increase s to about 4.74% than full cell module with rectangular ribbon.
