Abstract
A bypass diode assembly and a method for fabricating the bypass diode assembly are provided, the bypass diode assembly comprising an electrically insulating tape, an electrically conductive ribbon extending over the back side of the tape and locally exposed at the front side of the tape through an opening, a semiconductor component positioned in a hole through the tape, wherein the semiconductor component comprises a diode electrically connected between a first contact pad of the semiconductor component in electrical contact with the electrically conductive ribbon and a second contact pad of the semiconductor component, and an electrically conductive ribbon portion on the front side of the tape in electrical contact with the second contact pad of the semiconductor component. The electrically conductive ribbon portion is electrically isolated from the first electrically conductive ribbon by the electrically insulating tape. A photovoltaic module comprising at least one bypass diode assembly is provided.
