<p>A monolithic series-connected solar cell comprises a series of cells each having a mesa-like structure which is electrically interconnected from the top of each cell to a contact ledge formed in the base region of the adjoining cell. The individual cells are supported on an insulating substrate. The monolithic series-connected solar cell is fabricated from a fully formed single junction solar cell by forming a series of breaks down to an insulating substrate, forming a contact ledge in the base region on one side of the mesa defined by each break, applying a layer of insulating material along the opposite side of each mesa and forming a conductive lead between the top region of individual cells and the contact ledge of the adjoining cell.</p> |
