Solar Panel Structure

Post by g_astray »

What are the conductive metal rods which run down the surface of a photovoltaic solar panel called?
I would like to know if there are any specific names for them used in the solar panel industry.
I know that they "harvest" the electricity generated by the cell and direct all the electricity generated out of the panel, but am having trouble finding more about them because I do not know what they are called.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I believe the term you are looking for is “contact grid”, defined as the metal conducting lines that convey charges from the top of the chip off the chip to the external circuit.. See the right side of figure one in this paper to confirm we are talking about the sme thing.\
