NOVELTY - The cell has a top-contact layer that is positioned over buffer layer such that portion of top surface of bottom-contact layer remains exposed. A conducting grid (222) is provided with several electrically-conductive wires embedded into sheet. The conducting grid is in electrical contact with top-contact layer. The interconnect (234) is in electrical contact with portion of top surface of bottom-contact layer that is exposed and a bus-bar is embedded into sheet. A bus-bar (224) is electrically connected to conducting grid and interconnect.    USE - Photovoltaic cell e.g. crystalline silicon solar cell of monolithic solar cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The transparent sheet can electrically insulating to isolate the interconnects, conducting grid, and bus-bars embedded in or attached to the transparent sheet by preventing short circuits. The electrical responses of the photovoltaic cells can be matched to prevent the performance of the solar module from being limited by the lowest common denominator in mismatched assembly of photovoltaic cells. The interconnect sheet eliminates the appreciable resistive losses that can arise due to the use of low-temperature screen-printed inks used to deposit the current-collecting top grids of temperature-sensitive thin-film solar cells.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A photovoltaic-absorber layer that is positioned over bottom-contact layer such that portion of top surface of bottom-contact layer remains exposed. A buffer layer is positioned over photovoltaic-absorber layer such that portion of top surface of bottom-contact layer remains exposed. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) monolithic solar cell; and    (2) method for applying interconnection sheet onto photovoltaic cell.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows schematic view of the monolithic interconnect sheet used to electrically connect two-dimensional series of photovoltaic cells.
