(JP7231111-A)      The solar cell assembly includes IC carrier based solar cell sets. Small scale solar cells (2) are mounted on individual carriers (4). These are conventional integrated circuit carriers such as dual-in-line packages. Wire bonding connects the cell to the carrier pins. Secondary solar concentrators can be added at this point.    The carriers are automatically mounted on a common substrate such as a printed circuit board providing interconnections. A primary concentrator lens is then placed over the whole assembly giving high concentration levels.    ADVANTAGE -   Allows a solar panel to be fabricated using established automated processes.    (US5460659-A)      A high efficiency solar cell assembly, comprising:    a number of IC-type semiconductor device packages,    a number of solar cells mounted on and electrically connected to respective packages,    a printed circuit board that includes an electrical interconnection network,    said packages mounted on and electrically connected to the board so that the solar cells are electrically interconnected through the electrical interconnection network,    a number of discrete solar concentrator elements, each mounted on respective cell packages over respective cells for concentrating received solar radiation onto their respective cells, and    an array of solar concentrating lenses mounted above the solar cells and the discrete solar concentrator elements, each lens of the array extending over a greater area than the area of each respective cell, the array for receiving solar radiation and concentrating the radiation through the discrete elements onto the cells.
