ABSTRACT:
Solar module structures210and270and methods for assembling solar module structures. The solar module structures210and270comprise three-dimensional thin-film solar cells110arranged in solar module structures210and270. The three-dimensional thin-film solar cell comprises a three-dimensional thin-film solar cell substrate (124and122, respectively) with emitter junction regions1352and doped base regions1360. The three-dimensional thin-film solar cell further includes emitter metallization regions and base metallization regions. The 3-D TFSC substrate comprises a plurality of single-aperture or dual-aperture unit cells. The solar module structures270using three-dimensional thin-film solar cells comprising three-dimensional thin-film solar cell substrates with a plurality of dual-aperture unit cells may be used in solar glass applications. The solar module structures210using three-dimensional thin-film solar cells comprising three-dimensional thin-film solar cell substrates with a plurality of single-aperture unit cells may be used in building façade and rooftop installation applications as well as for centralized solar electricity generation.
