An improved photovoltaic device in which an electrically conductive adhesive is employed to affix the grid structure to the upper electrode thereof. By appropriately selecting the resistivity of the conductive adhesive, normal photogenerated current flow is readily accommodated, while shunted current flow, through patent or latent defects is substantially eliminated.
