PHOTOVOLTAIC STRUCTURES WITH SEGMENTED BUSBARS FOR INCREASED THERMAL CYCLING RELIABILITY

One embodiment can provide an electrode grid of a photovoltaic structure. The electrode grid can include a plurality of finger lines and a busbar coupled to the finger lines. The busbar can include one or more stress-release structures, thereby reducing stress caused by thermal expansion mismatch be...

Summary:One embodiment can provide an electrode grid of a photovoltaic structure. The electrode grid can include a plurality of finger lines and a busbar coupled to the finger lines. The busbar can include one or more stress-release structures, thereby reducing stress caused by thermal expansion mismatch between the busbar and underlying layers of the photovoltaic structure.
