NOVELTY - A serial interconnection of 1st and 2nd solar cells involves forming greater than or equal to 1 contact on current collecting busbar (120C) disposed over edge portion of 1st solar cell (100C), disposing electrically insulating layer (140C) over current collecting busbar and top surface portion of transparent layer, and arranging 1st and 2nd cells in shingled relationship to connect selected area of conductive substrate portion of 2nd solar cell to greater than or equal to 1 contact on conductive terminal of 1st solar cell to establish continuous electrical connection between terminal of 1st solar cell and substrate of 2nd solar cell.    USE - Serial interconnection of 1st and 2nd solar cells for solar cell assembly (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method obtains better interconnection that minimizes shorting between interconnected solar cells.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A serial interconnection of 1st and 2nd solar cells involves forming greater than or equal to 1 contact on current collecting busbar (120C) disposed over an edge portion of 1st solar cell (100C), disposing electrically insulating layer over the current collecting busbar (140C) and portion of top surface of transparent layer, and arranging 1st and 2nd cells in shingled relationship to connect a selected area of portion of conductive substrate of 2nd solar cell to greater than or equal to 1 contact on conductive terminal of 1st solar cell to establish a continuous electrical connection between terminal of 1st solar cell and substrate of 2nd solar cell while the portion of conductive substrate of 2nd cell is resting on the electrically insulating layer that is partially exposing the contact to inhibit short circuits between conductive substrate to 2nd solar cell and edge portion of 1st solar cell. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a solar cell assembly.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic perspective view of the solar cells aligned to be interconnected using insulated conductive foil.    1st solar cell (100C)    Collecting busbar (120C)    2nd edge (123C)    Conductive foil (124C)    Insulating layer (140C)
