20130319498 | HYBRID TYPE ROOF PANEL HAVING SOLAR CELL - A hybrid type roof panel of a vehicle has a solar cell mounted on the roof panel, in which two types of solar cell modules are simultaneously mounted, in order to provide a sense of openness of the roof panel and simultaneously maximize performance of the solar cell. In the roof panel covered with roof glass, two types of solar cells are disposed over an entire area of the roof glass in a hybrid manner, including: a first solar cell having transparent characteristics disposed in a center of the roof glass; and a second solar cell having better photovoltaic performance than the first solar cell disposed in an edge part of the roof glass. | 12-05-2013 |
20140174506 | UNITARY SOLAR ROOF AND GLASS STRUCTURE - Disclosed is a solar roof structure unified with glass, more particularly a solar roof structure unified with glass having transparency at a part where viewing therethrough is required and having a dye-sensitized solar cell panel equipped inside a transparent support, thus being applicable as a power source while ensuring viewability therethrough, and hence being applicable to, for example, an automotive sunroof. | 06-26-2014 |
20140352764 | ROOF PANEL HAVING SOLAR CELL - A roof panel for a vehicle that has a solar cell is provided. Specifically, a solar cell panel that has a plurality of solar cell modules electrically connected is disposed on an inner surface of an upper surface of a vehicle body and a sticking member that protects the solar cell panel from an impact while having sticking characteristics is inserted and laminated between the inner surface of the upper surface of the vehicle body and the solar cell panel. | 12-04-2014 |
20150179346 | METHOD OF CURVING A DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL FOR VEHICLE - Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a curved a solar cell module which is closely contacting a curve roof panel of a vehicle without incurring separation when the solar cell module is attached to the curved roof panel for a vehicle. Accordingly, stress applied to the curved solar cell module by the curved surface may be minimized by fabricating a curved solar cell module having the same curvature as the roof panel to provide a close-contact problem between the roof panel and the solar cell module. | 06-25-2015 |
20150357123 | SERIES/PARALLEL MIXED MODULE STRUCTURE OF DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) module includes sub-modules connected in parallel to each other on the same substrate. Each of the sub-modules includes a plurality of cells which have the same upper and lower structures and are connected in series to each other via a conductive grid. The conductive grid connects upper and lower substrates to each other. | 12-10-2015 |
20160121738 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SOLAR CELL - A system for using a solar cell includes a solar cell module configured to convert sunlight into electric energy, an engine operating circuit configured to convert mechanical energy generated by an engine operation of a vehicle into electric energy and provide the electric energy, a solar cell circuit configured to provide the electric energy generated through the solar cell module, a battery configured to be charged by electric energy provided by the solar cell circuit or the engine operating circuit, a load, and a controller of a vehicle. The controller is configured to control a connection of the circuits to the battery or to the load depending on a measured state of charge of the battery, driving of the vehicle, and acceleration of the vehicle. A method for using a solar cell is also disclosed. | 05-05-2016 |
20160126385 | ROOF PANEL HAVING SOLAR CELL OF VEHICLE - A roof panel of a vehicle is equipped with a solar cell module that is capable of satisfying an opening sense of the roof panel and preventing a voltage drop due to contact between heterogeneous solar cells. The solar cell module has the heterogeneous solar cell modules simultaneously mounted, and maintains output voltages of the heterogeneous solar cells to be the same by providing a plurality of cells in at least one of the solar cell modules, or individually controlling power output from the same kinds of solar cells by electric wire parts individually connected to the heterogeneous solar cells to maximize performance of the solar cell. | 05-05-2016 |
