Abstract
A method of manufacturing a solar cell receiver includes providing an insulative substrate having a metallized surface with a first conductive region separated from a second conductive region. The first conductive region forms a first terminal of the solar cell receiver and the second conductive region forms a second terminal of the solar cell receiver. The metallized surface has receptacles positioned around attachment regions with each attachment region corresponding to a different portion of the metallized surface. The method further includes positioning a material within the receptacles, placing a solar cell on the first conductive region and on a first one of the attachment regions, placing a second component on a second one of the attachment regions, placing a third component on a third one of the attachment regions and attaching the solar cell, the second component, and the third component to the metallized surface.
