Optimized Size and Tab Width in Partial Solar Cell Modules including Shingled Designs

Cell-to-module loss (CTM loss) is defined by optical and electrical losses. Using partial solar cells can reduce ohmic losses. Today, some manufactures use halved cells even if they have to employ extra effort for sorting, placing, and soldering the solar cells. In this work, the advantage of partia...
