Bonding Solar Cells Directly To Polyimide
US Patent:
2012015, Jun 21, 2012
Filed:
Dec 16, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/970230
Inventors:
Andrew Streett - San Clemente CA, US
Assignee:
THE BOEING COMPANY - Chicago IL
International Classification:
H01L 31/18
US Classification:
438 66, 257E31117
Abstract:
A method of constructing a solar cell panel is disclosed that includes providing a solar cell that has a front side and a back side, where the front side faces the sun during normal operation, heating a thermoplastic polyimide to at least its reflow temperature, flowing the thermoplastic polyimide onto the back side of the solar cell while heated to at least its reflow temperature, and cooling the thermoplastic polyimide to a temperature below its reflow temperature to bond the thermoplastic polyimide directly to the solar cell. The direct bonding of the thermoplastic polyimide to the solar cell is accomplished without an adhesive such as RTV adhesives. The method may also include bonding a substrate directly to the thermoplastic polyimide opposite the solar cell.

Appl. No.:
12/907273
Inventors:
Andrew R. Streett - San Clemente CA, US
International Classification:
H01L 31/042, C09D 1/00, B64G 1/52, B05D 5/00
US Classification:
136244, 427 74, 1062868, 2441717
Abstract:
A coated structure is provided that has a highly concentrated coating of carbon nanotubes so as to provide integrated thermal emissivity, atomic oxygen (AO) shielding and tailorable conductivity to the underlying surface, such as the surface of an aerospace vehicle, a solar array, an aeronautical vehicle or the like. A method of fabricating a coated structure is also provided in which a surface is coated with a coating having a relative high concentration of carbon nanotubes that is configured to provide integrated thermal emissivity, AO shielding and tailorable conductivity to the surface.
