Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic device, comprising: a back-contact solar cell comprising a plurality of back-contact metallization regions; one or more heat spreader units disposed above the plurality of back-contact metallization regions; and a heat sink disposed above the one or more heat spreader units, wherein the one or more heat spreader units have a lower surface in thermal communication with the back-contact solar cell and electrically isolated from the back-contact metallization region, the optoelectronic device further comprising at least a first cell interconnect member having at least a first end having an upper surface disposed higher than the lower surface of the one or more heat spreader units, the first end of the first cell interconnect member being electrically connected to the back-contact metallization region, the first cell interconnect member extending to a second end having an upper surface that is disposed below the lower surface of the one or more heat spreader units.
