MUMBAI, India, Aug. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202514004881 A) filed by The Boeing Company, Arlington, U.S.A., on Jan. 21, for 'monolithic photovoltaic solar panel with micro-pv cells and integrated, monolithic bypass diodes.'
Inventor(s) include Rehder, Eric M.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A photovoltaic (PV) solar panel, made of many micro-PV cells, where each micro-PV cell has its own integrated, monolithic bypass diode. Each micro-PV cell is a multi-junction solar cell that is approximately 1 cm on a side. An array of approximately fifty micro-PV cells, all connected in series, makes up a single "PV device", which generates 90-100 V at a low current. A PV solar panel includes multiple strings of these PV devices, connected in parallel, which generates a high photocurrent at 90-100 V. The multi-junction micro-PV cells can be made of stacked layers of Ge, GaAs, and InGaP PN."
