A method of fabricating a solar cell array module comprising providing a support, providing a face sheet having a top side and an opposite bottom side, mounting the bottom side of the face sheet on the support, providing a pattern of discrete predefined adhesive regions in an automated manner on the top side of the face sheet using machine vision and mounting an array of solar cell assemblies on the adhesive regions in an automated manner on the top side of the face sheet.

Automated assembly and mounting of solar cells on a honeycomb support

A method of fabricating a multijunction solar cell panel by providing a plurality of multijunction solar cells; dispensing out uncured silicone coating on the solar cells using an automated process with visual recognition, and curing the silicone coating on the solar cell to complete the Cell-Interconnect-Cover Glass (CIC) assembly.

Automated assembly and mounting of solar cells on space panels

The present disclosure provides methods of fabricating a multijunction solar cell panel in which one or more of the steps are performed using an automated process. In some embodiments, the automated process uses machine vision.

Solar cell array assemblies or modules mounted on a space vehicle having discrete predefined pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) regions thereon. In certain embodiments, the solar cell array modules may be conveniently mounted on the surface of a panel of a space vehicle or satellite with the discrete predefined PSA regions sized and shaped to match portions of the panel.

Assembly and mounting of solar cells on space vehicles or satellites

A method of bonding solar cell component to a support and the solar cell assembly thus obtained. The method of bonding solar cell component to a support comprises: disposing metallized traces on the support; dispensing bonding adhesive on front of the support or on back of the solar cell component; and laying down the solar cell component on the support and soldering the solar cell component to the metallized traces on the support. The support is a glass support with integrated circuits.

Flexible glass support for a solar cell assembly

Solar cell array assemblies or modules and methods of making and using such solar cell array assemblies or modules, having discrete predefined pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) regions thereon. In certain embodiments, the solar cell array modules may be conveniently mounted on the surface of a panel of a space vehicle or satellite with the discrete predefined PSA regions.

A solar cell assembly and a method of bonding a solar cell component to a flexible support are disclosed. The solar cell assembly comprises a flexible support with a predetermined size, a solar cell component, bonding adhesive between the support and the solar cell component, wherein the support with the predetermined size has substantially uniform borders of 0.003 inches to 0.2 inches in width extending beyond the edges of the solar cell component.

Solar cell assembly and method of bonding a solar cell component to a flexible support

The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a solar cell panel in an automated process by applying an adhesive pattern to a support, positioning a solar cell assembly over the pattern, and applying pressure to adhere the assembly to the support.

Assembly and mounting of solar cells on space panels

A solar cell assembly including: a solar cell for generating electric power from sunlight; a cover glass for covering the solar cell; transparent shims, which are disposed between the solar cell and the cover glass at the points were the distance between the solar cell and the cover glass needs to be controlled, and form a space between the solar cell and the cover glass; and a transparent adhesive layer, which fills the space between the solar cell and the cover glass and has the thickness the same as that of the transparent shims.

Solar cell assembly
