ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic array comprises a continuous semiconductor body with a plurality of spaced apart first and second electrical contacts on respective opposed surfaces of the body, thereby forming a plurality of photovoltaic cells with the cells series-connected to provide a higher output voltage. The invention is a series-connected array wherein the series connection between a pair of adjacent photovoltaic cells comprises a plurality of openings extending through the semiconductor body with an electrical contact of one cell extending into the plurality of openings to provide a connection with an opposed electrical contact of the next adjacent cell.
