NOVELTY - An article (112) comprises a combination of photovoltaic cell (10) and interconnection component, where photovoltaic cell comprises semiconductor material and having light incident top surface (59) formed by transparent/translucent first conductive material, and interconnection component is flexible and further comprises sheet like polymeric substrate comprising polymeric layers, and further having collection region and interconnection structure comprising additional electrically conductive material extending from first side to second side of polymeric substrate.    USE - As an article (claimed), used in facile production of modular arrays of photovoltaic cells.    ADVANTAGE - The article improves module form factors and complimentary installation structure to reduce the cost and complexity of achieving large area utility scale photovoltaic installations; eliminates the deficiencies in the prior art methods of producing expansive area, series or parallel interconnected photovoltaic modules and arrays; provides improved substrates to achieve series or parallel interconnections among photovoltaic cells; provides structures useful for collecting current from an electrically conductive surface and from a surface of limited current carrying capacity such as those of many optoelectric devices including photovoltaic cells, where the current collector structure comprising a pattern of highly conductive traces normally extends over a preponderance of the surface from which current is to be collected; provides improved processes where interconnected photovoltaic modules can be economically mass produced; provides a process and device to accomplish interconnection of photovoltaic cells into an integrated array through continuous processing. The interconnections are achieved without the need to use the expensive and intricate material removal operations currently known in the art to achieve interconnections.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An article (112) comprises a combination of photovoltaic cell (10) and an interconnection component, the photovoltaic cell comprising semiconductor material and having light incident top surface (59) formed by transparent or translucent first conductive material, the interconnection component being formed entirely by materials in addition to those associated with the cell structure, the interconnection component being flexible and further comprising a sheet like polymeric substrate comprising polymeric layers, the substrate having a first side and an oppositely disposed second side, the first side facing opposite and away from the second side, the interconnection component further having a collection region and an interconnection structure, the collection region has polymeric substrate as transparent or translucent and further has a pattern comprising a second electrically conductive material positioned on the first side, the interconnection structure comprising additional electrically conductive material extending from the first side to the second side of the polymeric substrate, and further extending over a portion of the second side, the additional conductive material being in ohmic electrical communication with the pattern, the combination having a portion of the first side of the polymeric substrate associated with the collection region and the light incident top surface facing each other such that a portion of the pattern is in direct physical contact with the light incident surface and the pattern extends over a preponderance of the light incident surface.
