CONCLUSIONS adequate reliability for the manufacturing of curved photovoltaic modules. A n alternative surfaces more easily than by conventional methods. The ability of the silicon solar cell to materials from experimental tests is presen ted. very low stresses in the first layers corre sponding to 1.52 MPa and 1.72 MPa, respectively.
Rance et al. produced CdTe on Corning Willow Glass™ and the solar cells efficiency was measured in the flexed and flat state. It was demonstrated that a bend radius of 51 mm can be achieved without decreasing device performance .
Finally, under the operating conditions assumed here, carbon fiber presents the best structural behavior in the reinforcement material, while epoxy resin exhibits a better performance in the encapsulation material. These results can facilitate the manufacturing of curved photovoltaic surfaces. Content may be subject to copyright. nro.
The error bars are the standard deviation of the 8 solar cells. In addition, a static 32 mm bending test was performed for 168 h (Fig. 4). The J-V was measured before and after bending and in 32 mm bend radius at 0, 24, 48, 120, 144 and 168 h.
