Substrate structures for integrated series connected photovoltaic arrays and process of manufacture of such arrays

摘要: This invention comprises manufacture of photovoltaic cells by deposition thin film junctions on metal foil substrates. The may be heat treated if appropriate following in a continuous fashion without deterioration the support structure. In separate operation, an interconnection substrate structure is provided, optionally fashion. Multiple are then laminated to and conductive joining methods employed complete array. this way can uniquely formulated from polymer-based materials employing optimal processing unique polymeric materials. Furthermore, junction its produced bulk need use expensive intricate material removal operations currently taught art achieve series interconnections.
