Shingled solar module including wire interconnect

Embodiments relate to a solar module comprising a plurality of photovoltaic (PV) elements (strips) arranged in series in an overlapping shingled configuration to provide a string. Conducting wires exhibiting low series resistance are disposed along the direction of serial connection of the strips.
