NOVELTY - Manufacturing article involves providing photovoltaic cell structure (10) having top light incident surface (59) and comprising semiconductor material, providing flexible structure comprising conductive material pattern positioned on polymer based sheet, combining first portion of flexible structure and cell structure such that a portion of pattern contacts top light incident surface and the pattern is distributed over preponderance of top light incident surface, and removing portion of polymer based sheet while pattern remains distributed over preponderance of top light incident surface.    USE - For manufacturing article combining photovoltaic cell structure and a conductive material pattern, suitable for collecting current from a light incident surface of a photovoltaic cell (claimed), used in facile production of modular arrays of photovoltaic cells.    ADVANTAGE - The method eliminates the deficiencies in the prior art methods of producing expansive area, series interconnected photovoltaic arrays; provides improved substrates to achieve series interconnections among expansive thin film cells; permits inexpensive production of high efficiency, heat treated thin film photovoltaic cells while simultaneously permitting the use of polymer based substrate materials and associated processing to effectively interconnect those cells; provides improved processes where expansive area, series interconnected photovoltaic arrays can be economically mass produced; provides improved processes and structures for supplying current collector grids.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Manufacturing article combining photovoltaic cell structure and a conductive material pattern, involves providing photovoltaic cell structure (10) having a top light incident surface (59) and comprising semiconductor material, providing a flexible structure comprising a conductive material pattern positioned on a polymer based sheet, the flexible structure being manufactured absent the cell structure, combining a first portion of the flexible structure and the cell structure such that a portion of the pattern contacts the top light incident surface and the pattern is distributed over a preponderance of the top light incident surface, and removing a portion of the polymer based sheet while the pattern remains distributed over a preponderance of the top light incident surface.
