Abstract
Individual solar cells are electrically interconnected through an interconnect circuit supported on a flexible dielectric substrate. The solar cells are connected directly to the interconnect circuit by contact fingers that are an integral part of the interconnect circuit. The interconnection of the individual solar cells can be accomplished by manual or automated process.
