Interconnect Conductors and Busbar Ribbon

Interconnect conductors join cells, while busbar ribbon collects current from strings. Specify them separately: cell-contact geometry and stringer handling for interconnects; path length, current and joint design for busbar ribbon.

Decision	Tabbing Wire / Interconnect Ribbon	Busbar Ribbon	Acceptance basis
Function	Joins cells into strings	Collects current from strings or connects module terminals	Identify the current path on the module drawing.
Geometry	Flat ribbon or round interconnect wire to match the cell	Section and path length to match collection duty	Specify each geometry independently.
Joint and handling	Cell pad, stringer feeding, mechanical stress and spool	Overlap, terminal/junction-box joint and conductor routing	Define joining and resistance tests for the actual joint.
