NOVELTY - An article comprises a combination of a first photovoltaic cell and an interconnection component, where the first photovoltaic cell comprises semiconductor material and has top surface formed by a window electrode comprising a transparent or translucent first conductive material (32), the top cell surface faces upward toward a source of light, the interconnection component is flexible and further comprises a substrate having a sheetlike form such that the substrate has a thickness small in comparison to its length and width, the substrate comprises polymeric layer.    USE - As an article (claimed) including grid/interconnect article, polymeric film or sheet, and glass article.    ADVANTAGE - The article has a length much greater than width where the article can be characterized as continuous in length; is flexible; allows high heat treatment for thin film photovoltaic junctions while also offering unique means to achieve effective integrated series connections; and produces the desired expansive interconnected array by producing the active photovoltaic film and interconnecting structure separately and subsequently combining them.
