NOVELTY - The method involves affixing a bus bar tape to a photovoltaic device (10), where the tape defines a bus grid connection zone on the photovoltaic device. A portion of a grid wire (14a) is affixed to the bus bar tape (16) by adhering the portion to layers (26, 28) of electrically conductive, pressure-sensitive adhesive (22a). An electrically conductive bus bar (18) is affixed to the bus bar tape such that the bus bar is in electrical contact with the portion of the grid wire, and a bus grid is adhered to the layer of the electrically conductive, pressure-sensitive adhesive.    USE - Method for affixing a bus grid structure e.g. auxiliary current collecting structure such as grid wire e.g. tape and strip, and bus bar, communicated with a device terminal, a connector and a lead line to a photovoltaic device (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method enables identifying intrusion of the adhesive to improve device efficiency by utilizing electrically conductive adhesive for the top adhesive layer. The method enables adhering the bus bar to the electrically conductive adhesive so as to contact the portions of the grid wire and to bond the grid wires to the photovoltaic device. The method enables allowing junctions between components of the current collecting bus/grid structure to have good electrical conductivity so as to minimize series resistivity of the device and to maximize photovoltaic efficiency. The method enables placing layer of an electrically conductive, pressure-sensitive adhesive upon the face of the insulating material and a layer of an electrically resistive, pressure-sensitive adhesive on another face of material, thus diminishing resistive losses occasioned by the nature of the junction between the grid wires and bus bar member. The method enables affixing the bus grid structure to the photovoltaic device, thus improving electrical conductivity of current-collecting bus-grid structures.
