ANALIZA NUMERYCZNA WYTRZYMAŁOŚCI POŁĄCZEŃ ELEKTRYCZNYCH W MODUŁACH PV

The paper shows a numerical analysis of the strength of electrical connections in photovoltaic modules. The Ansys environment was used to conduct the analyses, which allowed for the creation of a 3D model and the performance of appropriate simulations. The numerical model was parameterized in such a way that it was possible to change the ribbon cross-section without having to change the entire model. During the simulation, it was checked how the distribution of the maximum stresses achieved on the ribbon changes depending on the cross-section of the given element. After analyzing the obtained results, it was noted that for a ribbon with a height of 0.15 mm, the maximum stresses are lower than for the other cases studied.
