Method for increasing the working surface area of a photovoltaic module

摘要

A method for processing substrates (10) in the formation of photovoltaic (PV) modules, the substrates (10) having a plurality of thin film layers (18, 20, 22) deposited thereon. The method includes determining the geometric center (24) of the substrate and performing subsequent processing steps for defining individual cells (32) on the substrate using the geometric center of the substrate as a starting reference point for such processing steps.
