TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The conductive wires are: comprised of metal comprising copper, nickel, tin, silver, and/or aluminum; metal wires coated with tin, nickel, tin/lead alloy, tin/lead/silver alloy, tin/copper alloy, tin/silver alloy, and/or tin/bismuth alloy; and ribbon shaped metal wires having a width and thickness where the wire width is at least three time greater than the wire thickness.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The polymeric wire mounting layer is: comprised of a polymer encapsulant material comprising poly(vinyl butyral), ionomers, ethylene vinyl acetate, poly(vinyl acetal), polyurethane, PVC, polyolefins, polyolefin block elastomers, ethylene acrylate ester copolymers, ethylene copolymers, silicone elastomers, and/or chlorosulfonated polyethylene; or an ethylene copolymer comprising ethylene and at least one monomer consisting of 1-4C alkyl acrylates, 1-4C alkyl methacrylates, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, glycidyl methacrylate, maleic anhydride or co-polymerized units of ethylene and a co-monomer consisting of 4-8C unsaturated anhydrides, monoesters of 4-8C unsaturated acids having at least two carboxylic acid groups, and/or diesters of 4-8C unsaturated acids having at least two carboxylic acid groups, where the ethylene content in the ethylene copolymer is present at 60-90 wt.%. The polymeric back sheet comprises a poly-ester layer with opposite first and second sides, or a fluoropolymer layer, where: a first fluoropolymer layer is adhered to the first side of the polyester layer; a second fluoropolymer layer is adhered to the second side of the polyester layer; and the first side of the polymeric encapsulant layer is adhered to the second fluoropolymer layer of the back-sheet. The second side of the polymeric wire mounting layer is adhered to the first side of the back-sheet. The solar cell module further comprises a polymeric encapsulant layer, where: the polymeric encapsulant layer is disposed between the electrically conductive wires and the first side of the back-sheet; the polymeric encapsulant layer has opposite first and second sides; the first side of the polymeric encapsulant layer is adhered to the second side of the wire mounting layer so that the electrically conductive wires are sandwiched between the polymeric encapsulant layer and the wire mounting layer; and the second side of the polymeric encapsulant layer is adhered to the first side of the back-sheet.
