Abstract: A wire bonding system attaches wires to a solar cell wafer. The wire bonding system includes a feed tube through which a wire is drawn. Rollers contact the wire through openings in the feed tube to facilitate movement of the wire. The wire bonding system includes a soldering heater tip and a wire cutter. The solar cell wafer is placed on a platform, which moves the solar cell wafer. The system has multiple lanes for attaching multiple wires to the solar cell wafer at the same time in parallel operations.

Abstract: A module clip piece for a module is disclosed. The module clip piece includes at least one protrusion configured to engage at least one groove of a first neighboring module clip piece. The at least one protrusion protrudes in a first direction. At least one groove is coupled to the at least one protrusion and is configured to engage at least one protrusion of a second neighboring module clip piece. The at least one groove extends in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract: A groove is cut along a line between adjacent solar cells of a wafer. A coating powder is processed to form a coating layer on the surface of the groove. The solar cells are thereafter physically separated from each other along the groove, with the coating layer serving as an edge coat. The solar cells are electrically connected in series and packaged in a solar module.

Abstract: A bifacial solar module is described. The bifacial module has a laminate with a sun-facing glass layer and a backside glass layer, and two backrails attached to the backside glass layer for structural support. The bifacial module has an array of solar cells within a laminate, and the laminate has exterior edges that are not in contact with a frame structure or clamps. Two bifacial modules may be combined in a space-saving solar panel packaging arrangement. Also described is a solar panel assembly, which includes a mounting system configured to attach the bifacial module to a torque tube of a tracking system.

Abstract: Strings of solar cells having laser assisted metallization conductive contact structures, and their methods of manufacture, are described. For example, a solar cell string includes a first solar cell having a front side and a back side, and one or more laser assisted metallization conductive contact structures electrically connecting a first metal foil to the back side of the first solar cell. The solar cell string also includes a second solar cell having a front side and a back side, and one or more laser assisted metallization conductive contact structures electrically connecting a second metal foil to the back side of the second solar cell. The solar cell string also includes a conductive interconnect coupling the first and second solar cells, the conductive interconnect including a strain relief feature.
