Title
Thermomechanical Design Rules for the Development of Photovoltaic Modules
Abstract
A set of 15 thermomechanical design rules is derrived to support and accelerate PV module developments.
Three methods are developed and applied:
1. Thermomechanical FEM-simulations of PV module designs.
2. µ-Raman spectroscopy of laminated solar cells.
3. Solar cell integrated stress sensors (SenSoCell®).
The concept of specific thermal expansion stiffness Êα = E · α · Aj · h is introduced as a measure of how much thermal strain one material induces in another.
