摘要

Methods and devices are provided for avalanche breakdown in a thin-film solar cell. In one embodiment, a method of breakdown protection assembly comprises providing a single reel of material which is pre-cut in a pattern so that a first portion of the material can be overlapped to a second portion of material to sandwich a breakdown protection device therebetween.
