DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The device comprises two adjacent electrically interconnected photovoltaic cells, a unit of interconnecting structure functioning to secure the two cells in adjacent positioning, and an electrical conductor. The cells have a top light incident surface (59) and a bottom surface. The interconnecting structure unit has upward and downward facing surfaces, where a portion of the upward facing surface is formed by a first adhesive material contacting the bottom surface of a first cell. The electrical conductor is: in electrical contact with the bottom surface of the first cell; and positioned between the first adhesive material and the first cell bottom surface, where the first adhesive material is separated and disconnected from a second adhesive material contacting the bottom surface of a second cell. The conductor extends from below the first cell to above the top light incident surface of the second cell, and forms a conductive pattern extending over a predominance of the light incident surface of the second cell. The conductor comprises a monolithic form extending from below the first cell to above the top light incident surface of the second cell and a wire form, and has a low profile. A portion of the downward facing surface is formed by a third adhesive material in contact with the light incident surface of the first cell, where the third adhesive material is separated and disconnected from adhesive material contacting the light incident surface of the second cell and comprises a thermoplastic. A portion of the light incident surfaces of the first and second cells are further overlayed by polymer support layers, where the support layer overlaying the first cell is separated and disconnected from the polymer support layer overlaying the second cell. A portion of the bottom surfaces of the first and second cells are further covered by polymer support layers, where the support layer covering the bottom surface of the first cell is separated and disconnected from the polymer support layer covering the bottom surface of the second cell. The light incident surfaces of first and second cells are overlayed by a common barrier layer comprising glass. The conductive pattern comprises multiple parallel conductive traces having ends that are distal from the first cell, where the distal ends of two adjacent traces are electrically connected such that a first of the two traces is impaired and the performance of the cell remains undiminished. The top light incident surfaces comprise a transparent conductive material, and the cells comprise thin film semiconductor and a self supporting metal foil. The polymer support layer underneath the first cell extends outward over a portion of the top surface of the second cell. The pattern is positioned between the top light incident surface of the second cell and the adhesive material overlaying the second cell. The third adhesive has a thickness of less than or equal to 250 micrometers.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a sectional view of a thin film photovoltaic structure.
