NOVELTY - The substrate has a base (102) for providing multiple path options. Conductive pads (104) are formed on the base, such that pad spaces are created between adjacent conductive pads, where the conductive pads receives photovoltaic strips (108), and the pads are electrically connected with the path options. Optical vees (202) are arranged in the pad spaces, and bond pads are formed on the base, where the bond pads provide an interface to connect the photovoltaic strips to the path options in a predefined manner.    USE - Electronic substrate e.g. printed circuit boards (PCBs) and hybrid micro-circuits, for use in photovoltaic module (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The electronic substrate includes embedded path options, thus avoiding short circuiting with various components of the photovoltaic module, and hence increasing life time of the photovoltaic module. The electronic substrate is fabricated with completely automated processes and machines, thus enabling mass manufacturing. The method of manufacturing substrate is easy, quick and cost-effective. The photovoltaic module provides maximized outputs at appropriate configurations of the photovoltaic strips and appropriate levels of concentration, so that the photovoltaic module requires lesser amount of semiconductor material to generate same electrical output. The method utilizes concentrating elements that are optically coupled to the photovoltaic strips, so as to minimize space or air bubble between the concentrating elements and the optical vees, and between the concentrating elements and the photovoltaic strips, thus minimizing optical defects.
