Title:
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL INTERCONNECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003065392
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In one aspect, the invention provides photovoltaic modules. In one embodiment; a photovoltaic module includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells; at least two of which include a photosensitized nanomatrix layer and a charge carrier media. Preferably, the cells further include a catalytic media layer. The photovoltaic cells are disposed between a first electrical connection layer and a second electrical connection layer. In one embodiment; the cells are interconnected in series and the electrical connections layers each include conductive and insulative regions.
