The present invention relates to a grid photovoltaic cells with mechanical separation of cells relative to their rigid supporting substrate, such lattice, typically used to implement solar panels generators to ensure power supply electrical energy to the spacecraft, in particular satellites.

1 schematically shows an example implementation is known from the prior art photovoltaic element 1 (also referred to as “Covered Interconnected Cell or Solar Cell Assembly”), which is part of the lattice, containing from a few hundred to several tens of thousands of such elements, depending on the required on-orbit capacity. This element 1 contains the photovoltaic cell 2 is fixed with the adhesive layer 3 on a rigid substrate 4 that is common to multiple cells.

In the lattice of this type photovoltaic cells are very fragile because of their small thickness and is very sensitive to deformations that are currently on them when they are glued on a rigid substrate. Indeed, as a rule, the substrate is a multilayer structure with the outer carbon layers having limited stability of thermoelasticity: zone, reinforced in one direction only, may form folds (the phenomenon, called the acts “Wrinkles”), or the outer layers can be deformed with the formation of notches above the holes of the honeycomb structure (a phenomenon called “Telegraphing”).

In addition, landing on the adhesive creates the problem of possible repair of cells, which is difficult, because you should be very careful to remove insulating material, such as Kapton®, deposited on a substrate. The operation of removal of a cell from its substrate may take about a whole day.

Adhesion of cells to the substrate can lead to deformation of the cells. One way mechanical separation of cells to the substrate is to increase the thickness of the layer of glue, but this leads to a significant increase in the total mass and the danger of uncontrolled emissions from the glue and even blast cells (a phenomenon called “Pop-off”).

Soft mounting system cells (type "grid", "thin films",...) provide a significant technological gap architecture solar generators, as well as problems affecting the AOCS (Attitude on Orbit Control System the attitude control system and orbital maneuvering) control over the satellite carrier, when the attachment of the cells carry on soft wings.

The idea of mounting the cells on the support substrate with the possibility of mechanical separation without thermal aspect does not work, since the mechanical separation of the actuator is t to the loss of the conductive connection and must be replaced by a radiation coupling. In case of loss of heat due "cell-substrate" is a substrate will be heated and to lose much of its effectiveness.

The object of the present invention is the lattice elements of the photovoltaic cells with a rigid supporting substrate comprising a mechanical separation between each cell of this grid and the supporting substrate, providing between them a good thermal conductivity, with the specified grid is used, in particular, as a solar generator to power the electric energy satellites.

Photovoltaic grid in accordance with the present invention differs in that each photovoltaic element of the lattice is fixed to the substrate using a soft, self-adhesive and easily detachable device mounting, while the rear side of each cell and the front side of the substrate containing the layer that improves their properties of thermal radiation.

The present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description of a variant of implementation, is presented as a non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, on which:

Figure 1 (already mentioned above) is a schematic view in section of a photovoltaic element grid solar panel according to the prior art;

Figure 2 - schematic view in section of an element f is togalvanize grid solar panel in accordance with the present invention;

Figure 3 is a view in projection of the four adjacent cells photovoltaic grid solar panel in accordance with the present invention;

4 is more detailed than in figure 2, schematic view in section of a photovoltaic element grid solar panel.

The invention proposes a solution to reduce mechanical connection of photovoltaic grid solar generator in relation to its supporting substrate. Indeed, the photovoltaic cell is very thin (the thickness is only a few tens of microns) and very fragile. When it is glued to the substrate, it is subjected to geometric deformation caused by vibration and especially thermoelastic phenomena and can even lead to damage to the cells. The idea is to mount the cell by soft system that allows you to disconnect the cell from the deformed parts of the substrate and to simultaneously provide sufficient radiation communication of the cell with the substrate, to avoid heating up in flight and losing its effectiveness. The solution is to use photovoltaic cells with a rear side having a high emissivity (using the grid or cover the substrate Kapton etc Ge or Ag), which is placed on a substrate using Velcro.

Photovoltaic element 5, schematically shown in figure 2, with the holding photovoltaic cell 6, fixed on the corresponding area of the substrate 7 (common to multiple cells) via a connection 8 plates of Velcro® or soft self-adhesive and easily detachable similar fastening devices. A more detailed implementation of these various elements described below with reference to figure 3 and 4. Rear side 7A of the substrate 7 is treated by a known method, and its front side is covered with an insulating film of Kapton type varieties with high emissivity to ensure a good radiative thermal conductivity in the direction of a support (not shown)which attach the substrate. The coefficient of thermal radiation ε, obtained thanks to this film is, for example, 0.6 to 0.9.

Figure 3 in the upper projection shows four adjacent rectangular cells 9-12 included in the photovoltaic solar panel (other cells not shown). Each of the cells 9-12 are fixed on the supporting substrate by the method described below, using the four plates 8 of Velcro, each of which have at one corner of the cell. Cells of the same column are connected via internal wiring 13.

Figure 4 shows in detail the various components of the photovoltaic element 5, shown in figure 2. Itself the photovoltaic cell 6 is, for example, the classic type Si AsGa. Its rear side (opposite support) cover film 14 of selfadhesive material KaptonTMfor example, a thickness of about 50 μm. Alternatively, the coating can be a layer of metallization, for example a layer of silver. The coefficient of thermal radiation ε Kapton is about to 0.61, whereas the silver, it is approximately equal to 0.05. Preferably use Kapton etc, as it is cheaper than the metallization, although from a thermal point of view, it is less effective because it allows not to change the manufacturing process of the cells existing in the market.

Side of the substrate 7 opposite the cell 6 is carbon layer 15, on which a layer 16 Kapton, as a rule, the substrate 7 is a "cell structure" for increased thermal conductivity between its front side and its rear side.

Part 8A of the plates of Velcro, still connected to the cell 6, fixed on its layer 14 with adhesive, and the corresponding part 8B of the plates of Velcro, permanently United with the substrate 7 fixed with the adhesive layer 16 of the substrate, while Velcro is preferably adhesive.

Thus, thanks to the invention, the radiation thermal connection between the photovoltaic cells and the substrate is achieved through the use of existing photovoltaic cells and deposition on the back side of the Lenka Kapton. In addition, the use of cells with area local gluing the back instead of gluing on the entire surface allows you to get on the back of the cell is the same (good) emissivity, as on the front side of the cell.
