PV Ribbon
Reflective PV Ribbon
Reflective PV ribbon uses a surface profile or finish intended to redirect light within a solar module. Specify the optical design, conductor geometry and soldering surfaces together. Evaluate the power effect in the actual cell, encapsulation and module layout.
Construction and specification
- Material construction
- Copper-aluminum composite or specified copper base with the coating defined by the cell process
- Product form
- Ribbon
- Surface coating
- Tin, low-temperature solder, black or reflective coating
- Thickness range
- 0.10-0.35 mm typical, custom on request
- Width range
- 0.30-2.00 mm typical, custom on request
- Supply format
- Spool, traverse wound spool or cut-to-length
Selection and processing
Define the reflective profile or finish and the solderable zones on the drawing. Optical behavior depends on cell layout, encapsulation and the assembled module; compare module power using the intended construction and test conditions.
Standards context
Use the drawing and a material/form-specific purchase specification. Round-wire references do not qualify rolled strip, foil or flat wire. Confirm edition, methods and acceptance criteria.
Standards scope referencesProduct questions
What is reflective ribbon?
reflective ribbon is a solar module interconnection material used to collect and transfer current between solar cells or cell strings. Raytron supplies custom ribbon dimensions, coating systems and packaging formats for different PV module technologies.
How do I choose reflective ribbon?
Start with the cell technology and soldering temperature. Then check coating type, shading loss, yield strength, module reliability requirements and compatibility with the automated process.
Can Raytron customize reflective ribbon?
Yes. Width, thickness, coating, temper, spool format and packaging can be customized according to drawing, sample or module process requirements.
