<p>Solar cells and front and back surface metallization patterns for solar cells are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a solar cell comprises a semiconductor diode structure having a front surface to be illuminated by light, and an electrically conducting front surface metallization pattern disposed on the front surface of the semiconductor diode structure to provide an electrical contact to the semiconductor diode structure. The front surface metallization pattern includes at least one bus bar, a plurality of fingers attached to the bus bar, and a bypass conductor interconnecting two or more of the fingers to provide multiple current paths from each of the two or more interconnected fingers to the bus bar.</p> |
