NOVELTY - A paste composition comprises an inorganic solid portion comprising: (a) 75-99% by weight based on solids of a source of an electrically conductive metal; (b) 0.1-10% by weight based on solids of a glass component; and (c) 0.1-5% by weight based on solids of a lithium-containing additive.    USE - The paste composition is useful for producing and fabricating an article, where the article is a photovoltaic cell (claimed); and for forming an electrical contact on the front side of a solar cell device having an insulating layer.    ADVANTAGE - The paste composition can be efficiently used in forming an electrical contact on the front side of a solar cell device having an insulating layer. Also, the composition permits fabrication of patterned conductive structures that result in improved overall device electrical performance and that facilitate the efficient manufacture of such devices.
