Patent ID: 7829781

Claim:
A module, comprising: a first photovoltaic cell including an electrode; a second photovoltaic cell including an electrode; an interconnect that connects the electrodes of first and second photovoltaic cells; a first substrate; a second substrate; and a first adhesive material, the first adhesive material being electrically insulative, wherein: a portion of the electrode of the first photovoltaic cell overlaps a portion of the electrode of the second photovoltaic cell; the first photovoltaic cell is between the first and second substrates; the second photovoltaic cell is between the first and second substrates; a first portion of the first adhesive material is between the electrode of the first photovoltaic cell and the second substrate; a second portion of the first adhesive material is between the electrode of the second photovoltaic cell and the first substrate; the interconnect is between the first and second portions of the first adhesive material; and the interconnect comprises: a second adhesive material, the second adhesive material being electrically insulative; and a first mesh partially disposed in the second adhesive material, the first mesh comprising an electrically conductive material.
