Abstract
The field of the invention relates to minimization of resistive loss of solar panels in order to achieve maximum solar energy conversion efficiency, extracting more electricity power from available solar irradiance. Schemes are designed to take advantage of the geometrical and mechanical configurations of back contact solar cells to make better electrical contacts and connections so as to achieve maximum solar energy conversion efficiency and better power extraction.
