US Patent 7997754 Solar component and devices containing the same

Solar component and devices containing the same are disclosed. The solar component includes coupling an upper member, a lower member, and at least two side members to form a cavity for housing a plurality of solar cells. Adjacent solar cells may have unused spaces thereby allowing apertures to be formed therethrough the upper member and the lower member. The apertures are capable of allowing air flow through the cavity thereby leading to reduced wind resistance of the solar component.
