Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of optoelectronic materials. In particular, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for interconnecting photovoltaic cells. Background technique
[0002] The need to reduce personal and commercial reliance on fossil fuel energy has largely driven the development of optoelectronic materials and devices. These developments are asserted to have exceeded the purpose of discovering new sources of energy that are beneficial to the environment. The main limitation to development and innovation in this field is the production cost of optoelectronic devices. The cost of energy and materials for the production of these devices must be recoverable by the electricity generated by the device over a reasonable payback period, and the devices and their method of production need to be commercially viable. In addition, the technical feasibility of efficiently producing the device is the primary lim...
