Abstract:
In conventional solar cells with metal contacts, a non-negligible fraction of the incoming solar power is immediately lost either through absorption or reflection upon interaction with the contacts. Effectively transparent contacts (“ETCs”) for solar cells can be referred to as three-dimensional contacts designed to redirect incoming light onto a photoabsorbing surface of a solar cell. In many embodiments, the ETCs have triangular cross-sections. Such ETCs can be placed on a photoabsorbing surface such that at least one of their sides forms an angle with the photoabsorbing surface. In this configuration, the ETCs can redirect incident light onto the photoabsorbing surface, mitigating or eliminating reflection loss compared to conventional solar cells. When constructed in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention, ETCs can be effectively transparent and highly conductive.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the effective transparent contacts are formed by:\n filling the plurality of grooves with conductive ink; placing the mold stamp in contact with the photosbsorbing surface such that the side of the mold stamp with the filled plurality of grooves is adjacent with the photoabsorbing surface; curing the conductive ink; and removing the mold stamp such that the cured conductive ink remains on the photoabsorbing surface.
