Abstract

A string of solar cells is disclosed. The sides of the solar cells have a corrugated shape which forms an opening when the solar cells are arranged in a shingled manner. The solar cells are electrically connected in series by a ribbon that passes through the opening. A wire mesh used to decrease solar cell resistance is also disclosed.
