ABSTRACT:
A bypass diode assembly (10) for a photovoltaic module (11) incorporating a plurality of electrically conductive strips (12), each having a long leg (13) and a short leg (14). The long leg (13) of each conductive strip (12) is in overlapped relation with the long leg (13) of another conductive strip (12). A diode (21) is interposed between successive conductive strips (12) in the vicinity of the overlapped relation and is electrically associated therewith. A bridging portion comprising diagonal arm (20) is carried by each long leg (13) and is oriented to dissipate stress experienced by the conductive strip (12). The short leg (14) is suitably located and configured for electrically communicating with the substrate layer (15) of a corresponding photovoltaic cell strip (16).
