ABSTRACT:
A solar cell structure having dual metal layer contacts or interdigitated metal contact fingers on one surface is provided with internal bypass diodes in each cell. Each bypass diode comprises doped regions in contact with the metal spaced from the doped regions of the active solar cell. The doped regions of the bypass diodes are of opposite conductivity type from the doped regions of the active solar cell for each contact. The bypass diode is spaced from the active region and is shaded from irradiation during normal operation.
