Abstract
The method of the present invention improves mechanical integrity of a crystalline silicon solar cell having an exposed layer of n-type silicon. A solution of electrically-conductive nanowires in an inert liquid is sprayed onto the exposed layer in order to form a grid pattern of the nanowires on the exposed layer after the inert liquid dries or evaporates.
