Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of producing two or more ihin fi] m feased interconnected photovoltaic cells (100) comprising the steps of: a) providing a photovoltaic article comprising: a flexible conductive substrate at least one photoelectrically active layer and a top transparent conducting layer; b) forming one or more first channels (140) through the flexible conductive substrate to expose a portion of the photoelectrical] ?  active layer; e) applying an insulating segment to the conductive substrate and spanning the one or more first channel; d) forming one or more second channels off set from the one or more first channels  through the photoelectrically active layer to expose a conductive surface of the flexible conductive substrate; I) forming one or more third channels (170) off set from both the first channels and the second channels through the top transparent conducting layer and to the photoelectrically active layer: and g) applying an electrically conductive material (180) above the top transparent conducting layer and in the second channels thus producing two or more Interconnected photovoltaic eelis..
