ABSTRACT:
A solar cell array, comprised of a plurality of series-connected unit solar cells, formed from a common substrate, is cooled by providing cooling passages between adjacent sidewalls of adjoining unit cells through which a heat transfer medium is transmitted. Transmission of the heat transfer medium through the passages effectively cools the solar cell array as the cooling surfaces provided by the sidewalls of the cooling passages are much larger than the light-receiving surfaces of the cells. Enhanced cooling effectiveness can be accomplished by providing additional cooling passages along the lower surfaces of the unit cells.
