MODULAR DESIGN OF IMPROVED SOLAR CONVERTERS.
Abstract
Three important tests were conducted during this period: (1) a temperature gradient test of the prototype module; (2) a molded shingle assembly shear test; and (3) a current versus voltage out put of the active module. Relative to the Special Warfare conceptual design, drawings of a markedly different more advanced array were completed. USAELRDL suggested that detailed sketches of this concept be developed for further evaluation. A wiring layout and calculations for the electrical design of the active 5-watt module were developed which indicate the number of cells per series string, total number of cells, electrical output, and physical size. Light transmission tests were performed on the materials listed in the previous report which were subjected to ultra-violet and sunlight exposure. An evaluation of the addi tional cover materials also listed in the same report has been made based on light transmission lossess and literature analysis. (Author)
