A blocking diode board ('BDB') for use with a rollable solar power module ('RSPM') array is disclosed. The DBD includes a blocking diode, first flat electrical conductor, second flat electrical conductor, first tubular hook, and second tubular hook.

Blocking diode board for rollable solar power module

The invention describes a method of achieving superconductivity in Group IV semiconductors via the addition of doubly charged impurity atoms to the crystal lattice. The doubly charged impurities function as composite bosons in the semiconductor. Increasing the density of the composite bosons to a level where their wavefunctions overlap, results in the formation of a Bose condensate. The concentration of the doubly charged impurity atoms in the host lattice and the binding energy of the impurities are important factors in determining whether a Bose condensate will form. Doubly charged impurities must be present in the semiconductor at a concentration at which they exhibit overlapping wavefunctions, but still exist within the crystal lattice as bosons.
