Abstract
Provided is a photovoltaic panel in which a plurality of photovoltaic cells is electrically connected in series, and in which at least one of the photovoltaic cells is set as a non-use cell which is not electrically connected to the other photovoltaic cells and not used.
Claims20
A photovoltaic panel in which a plurality of photovoltaic cells is electrically connected in series,
- wherein at least one of the photovoltaic cells is set as a non-use cell depending on the output characteristics of the photovoltaic cell.
A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic panel including a plurality of photovoltaic cells,
- wherein predetermined photovoltaic cells among the plurality of photovoltaic cells are electrically connected in series depending on the output characteristics of at least one of the photovoltaic cells.
A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic panel including a plurality of photovoltaic cells,
- wherein at least two photovoltaic cells among the plurality of photovoltaic cells are shorted or the electrodes of a predetermined photovoltaic cell are shorted depending on the output characteristics of at least one of the photovoltaic cells.
A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic panel, comprising:
- a step of setting a plurality of arrangement patterns of a connection member connecting a plurality of photovoltaic cells;
- a property examination step of examining the output characteristics of at least one of the photovoltaic cells;
- an arrangement pattern determining step of determining the arrangement pattern of the connection member based on an examination result in the property examination step;
- and
- an inter-cell connection step of connecting the plurality of photovoltaic cells using the connection member having the arrangement pattern determined in the arrangement pattern determining step.
