PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) MODULE WITH IMPROVED BUS TAPE TO FOIL RIBBON CONTACT A photovoltaic (PV) module (10), and associated method of making, includes a substrate (12) having a plurality of individual serially connected solar cells (16) defined thereon. A bus tape (28) is applied to the substrate generally at each opposite longitudinal end (18) thereof. The bus tapes are applied over the extreme opposite solar cells for collecting the charge generated by the plurality of solar cells. A foil ribbon (22) is connected between the bus tapes and to an intermediate junction box (24) that is configured for delivering the generated charge to an external load or other component. At a point of electrical connection between the bus tapes and the foil ribbon, the bus tapes are disposed beneath the foil ribbon and a conductive solder (30) is between the foil ribbon and bus tapes.
