The Analysis of electrical loss characteristics by interconnection during PV module fabrication process

PV모듈 제조공정에서 Interconnection에 따른 전기적 손실 특성 분석

In this study, we analyzed the electrical loss characteristics between ribbon and output terminal of constituent material according to electrical resistance during interconnection process of PV module. From this result, the electrical output power reduction rate caused by interaction between ribbon and cell's interconnection was 2.88%. There was 1W electrical output power reduction through the 16 solar cells. So it is expected that the wider size of PV module gives the higher loss in electricity production. Also, the average output power of PV module passed lamination process was increased by 0.081W per one solar cell and the increase rate was 3.7%.PV module's electrical loss before and after lamination process according to constituent material's terminal was 0.49W and 0.50W, respectively.
