ABSTRACT:
An electrical coupling device for solar cells includes a conductive member characterized by a single shaped thickness of material. The member includes a first portion extending a first length from a first end region and a second portion extending a second length from a second end region. The member also includes a U-like-shaped portion including a first branch, a second branch, and a joint region integrally connecting the first branch and the second branch. The first branch is integrally connected to the first portion at a first junction region and the second branch is integrally connected to the second portion at a second junction region. The first end region connects a first electrical lead of a first solar cell and the second end region connects a second electrical lead of a second solar cell which is disposed at flexible distance allowed by deforming the U-like-shaped portion elastically.
