Abstract
A solar cell package includes a plurality of solar cells within a space formed by a support member and a transparent cover member. A first conductor is positioned between the support member and the solar cells and makes electrical contact to a first surface of each of the solar cells. A second conductor is essentially coplanar with the first conductor and makes electrical contacts to a second surface of each of the solar cells. The output terminals of the solar cell package are connected to the first and second conductors. The first and second conductors are electrically isolated from each other and are also insulated from the support member and from the solar cells insulative means which is electrically insulated but thermally conductive to facilitate dissipation of thermal power dissipated in the solar cells.
