Conventional cell connection is replaced by the full-surface cover of cell strips which, similar to shingles, are laid with a small overlap and laterally with an offset to each other, similar to a masonry structure. The technology offers flexibility and new potential for module design. It opens up new areas of application for BIPV (Building Integrated PV), VIPV (Vehicle Integrated PV), AgriPV (Agriculture PV) and so forth.
