A method of forming a photovoltaic device on a substrate, especially an opaque substrate. The method includes forming a photovoltaic material on a substrate and removing the substrate. The method may include patterning the photovoltaic material to form a plurality of photovoltaic devices and configuring the devices in series to achieve monolithic integration. The method may include forming additional layers on the substrate, such as one or more of a protective material, a transparent conductor, a back conductor, an adhesive layer, and a laminate support layer. When the substrate is opaque, the method provides the option of ordering the layers so that a transparent conductor is formed before the back reflector of a photovoltaic stack. This ordering of layers facilitates monolithic integration and the ability to remove the substrate allows the earlier-formed transparent conductor to serve as the point of incidence for receiving the light that excites the photovoltaic material. The method enables high speed manufacturing of monolithically integrated photovoltaic devices on opaque substrates.
