Ulbrich - Model LCR - Silver Light-Capturing Ribbon - Brochure

LCR™ is a high efficiency grooved solar cell interconnect wire that replaces traditional flat ribbon used to connect solar cells together within a module. It was developed to increase the efficiency of a solar module by reflecting more light back onto the surface of the cell. This innovative grooved interconnect wire steers the reflected light back to the glass/air interface allowing total internal reflection back onto the cell surface. Up to 80% of the incoming light that strikes the LCR™ ribbon is recovered significantly higher than the 5% recovery of traditional solar cell tabbing and interconnect wire.
