Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a metallic interconnect member for connecting a first solar cell to a second solar cell. The interconnect member includes one or more serpentine paths having substantially perpendicular loops. The interconnect member may include two connection pads for connecting to the first solar cell. A further connection pad for connecting to a bypass diode may be included. The disclosure further relates to a string of solar cells including a first and a second solar cell connected by an interconnect member.

Claim (Index 8):
A string of solar cells comprising a first solar cell and a second solar cell connected in series, an interconnect member comprising a first and a second cathode pad to connect to a cathode of the first solar cell and a first and a second anode pad to connect to an anode of the second solar cell,\n a first serpentine path connecting the first cathode pad with the first anode pad, a second serpentine path connecting the second cathode pad with the second anode pad, the first serpentine path including a longitudinal loop having two parallel longitudinal portions and a curved portion in between, and a transverse loop having two parallel transverse portions and a curved portion in between, wherein the longitudinal loop is substantially perpendicular to the transverse loop.
