ABSTRACT:
A method for interconnecting the body of a solar cell to an adjacent solar cell to form a solar cell array capable of withstanding high temperatures and rugged terrestrial applications, but minimizing the electrical degradation of the peak power output of the solar cells comprises the parallel gap welding of an interconnect metal layer perpendicular to the direction of force applied on the solar cell by the interconnect layer connecting adjacent solar cells wherein the width of the weld perpendicular to the direction of force is greater than the length of the weld.
