Solexel

Solar Cells with Built-in Smart Electronics on the Back

This patent describes a solar cell design that integrates electronic components, like a bypass switch, directly onto the back of the cell to improve performance, especially when parts of the cell are shaded.

Solar Cells with Built-in Bypass Switches

This patent describes how to build a solar cell with a bypass switch directly into the same piece of silicon, making solar panels more efficient and reliable.
