Abstract:
A solar assembly or module comprising a plurality of solar cells and a support, the support comprising a conductive layer or back plane on each planar side. Each one of the plurality of solar cells is placed on the first conductive portion with the first contact electrically connected to the first conductive portion so that the solar cells are connected in parallel through the first conductive portion. A second contact of each solar cell can be connected to the second conductive portion so that the first and second conductive portions form terminals of opposite conductivity type. The modules can be interconnected to form a string or an electrical series connection of discrete modules by overlapping and bonding the first terminal of a first module with the second terminal of a second module.

Claim (Index 19):
A solar array panel comprising a plurality of modular solar cell assemblies, each solar cell assembly including an interconnect which electrically and mechanically connects the solar cell assembly with an adjacent solar cell assembly, and wherein each solar cell assembly comprises:\n a support comprising a first side and an opposing second side; a first conductive layer comprising a first conductive portion disposed on the first side of the support, wherein the first conductive portion comprises a plurality of parallel strips with a thickness in the range of 5 to 50 microns; a second conductive layer comprising a second conductive portion disposed on the second side of the support; a plurality of solar cells mounted on the first side of the support, each solar cell of the plurality of solar cells comprising a top surface including a contact of first polarity type, and a rear surface including a contact of the second polarity type, the contact of second polarity type of each of the plurality of solar cells making electrical contact with the first conductive portion of the first conductive layer; a plurality of conductive interconnects extending from the first side of the support to the second conductive layer, each respective interconnect making electrical contact with the contact of the first polarity type of a respective solar cell and extending through a respective via to make electrical contact with the second conductive layer disposed on the second side of the support; a first terminal of the solar cell assembly disposed on the second side of the support and connected to the second conductive portion; and a second terminal of the solar cell assembly disposed on the first side of the support and connected to the first conductive portion.
