ABSTRACT:
Interconnect strip for connecting rectangular photovoltaic cells into series strings comprises tabs spaced as collector pads on a cell to facilitate connection thereto and a bus portion for connection to the opposite side of an adjacent cell. The strip is laminated on both sides with dielectric to prevent short circuiting between opposite sides of the same cell when cell spacing is extremely close. Apparatus and method for automated manufacture of cell arrays employing laminated interconnect are also disclosed.
