NOVELTY - Article combining one or two photovoltaic cells (10) and an interconnection component, is claimed. A first of the two cells comprises a first material layer comprising semiconductor material, where the first material layer has dimensions defining the cell boundaries of the first cell. The first cell further comprises a second material layer forming an upward facing top light incident surface of the first cell, where the top light incident surface is essentially flat and extends over an area which is completely encompassed by the cell boundaries. The cell is absent organic material.    USE - Used as article combining one or two photovoltaic cells and an interconnection component.    ADVANTAGE - The article: has thin film photovoltaic structures which devoid of organic materials on metal foil substrates which may be heat treated following deposition in a continuous fashion without deterioration of the metal support or thin film photovoltaic material structures; and exhibits tailored mechanical, chemical resistance and barrier properties and flexibility.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Article combining one or two photovoltaic cells (10) and an interconnection component, is claimed. A first of the two cells comprises a first material layer comprising semiconductor material, where the first material layer has dimensions defining the cell boundaries of the first cell. The first cell further comprises a second material layer forming an upward facing top light incident surface of the first cell, where the top light incident surface is essentially flat and extends over an area which is completely encompassed by the cell boundaries. The cell is absent organic material. The interconnection component comprises a structure combining electrically conductive material and nonconductive material, where the structure has an overall sheetlike form having a length, width and thickness and the length and width are greater than the thickness. The sheetlike form has a downward facing bottom side and an upward facing top side (59), where the interconnection component further comprises a collection region and an interconnection structure. The collection region comprises a substrate comprising at least one transparent or translucent layer comprising polymeric material and having a downward facing surface formed by at least one of the polymer based layers and an upward facing surface. A line extending through the substrate from the upward facing surface to the downward facing surface at any point within the collection region does not pass through any material layer which is absent polymer. The collection region further comprises a pattern comprising a first portion of the electrically conductive material, where the first portion extends to substantially all portions of the pattern and the pattern is positioned on the downward facing surface of the substrate, so that the bottom side of the interconnection component within the collection region is formed by portions of pattern material combined with portions of the substrate downward facing surface remaining uncovered by the pattern. The first photovoltaic cell and interconnection component are positioned so that the downward facing side of the sheetlike interconnection component associated with the collection region overlays a preponderance of the first cell upward facing top light incident surface so that portions of the pattern and portions of the downward facing substrate surface remaining uncovered by the pattern both directly contact the top light incident surface of the first cell. The interconnection structure further comprises a second portion of the electrically conductive material extending through the sheetlike form to ohmically join the first electrically conductive material of the pattern to a third portion of the electrically conductive material located at the upward facing top side of the overall sheetlike form. The second cell has a bottom downward facing surface and the third portion of the electrically conductive material is positioned beneath the bottom surface (66) of the second of the cells. The first photovoltaic cell is electrically isolated from any second photovoltaic cell.
