ABSTRACT:
A contact arrangement for permitting a plurality of solar cells to be electrically interconnected. The inventive device includes a solar cell having orthogonally oriented outer peripheral edges and oblique angled corner edges. A first pair of negative contacts is secured to a top surface of the cell proximal to a first adjacent pair of angled corner edges, and a second pair of negative contacts is secured to the cell proximal to a second adjacent pair of angled corner edges. A pair of positive contacts is secured to the top surface of the cell proximal to the second adjacent pair of angled corner edges and extends at least partially around the second pair of negative contacts. An elongated positive buss bar extends between the pair of positive contacts and along the top surface of the cell proximal to one of the outer peripheral edges. The negative contacts wrap around the respective angled corner edges and onto the top surface of the cell to permit for ease of electrically interconnecting a plurality of cells together in a series or parallel orientation.
