NOVELTY - The assembly method involves assembling a sheet of encapsulant material (4) between photovoltaic cell (6) and back sheet (2), and assembling conductive circuit elements between back sheet and sheet of encapsulant material. The at least one layer of interconnecting paste (11) is printed to the electrical contacts of photovoltaic cell to cause the paste to form bumps with a tapered shape. The photovoltaic module (1) is fully assembled with the front sheet facing down.    USE - Assembly method for monolithic, back contact photovoltaic module used for converting energy of light such as solar radiation directly into electricity by photovoltaic effect.    ADVANTAGE - The use of smaller tolerances in the paste to cell enables reduction of the size of contact pads, thus reducing the area of isolated pad, therefore increasing the effective area of cell. The improved tolerances in assembly process enables more accurate features in electrical connections of the module, thus leads to better area utilization and less electrical resistance in the module and to improved module efficiency. The improved accuracy of printing the interconnecting paste leads to better efficiency and enables the use of more contact points, thus opens up possibilities for more efficient electrical circuit design. The printing of paste on cell contacts enables use of substantially smaller printer equipment than in the traditional approach where the paste is printed on conductive circuit elements of large-area back sheet. The printing on cell enables printing tapered shape interconnecting paste, thus contact on photovoltaic cell, where the contact resistance is higher, is wider and very well defined. The printing on cells provides higher accuracies and thus leads to higher yield and reduces the risk of short circuiting. Maximizing the contact area between paste and contact pad of cell provides way for improving the module performance by reducing resistance between contact pad and paste. The printing on cells and resulting accuracy improvement further enables more accurate features in the electrical connections of module, resulting to smaller losses in the module and improved module efficiency. Improves assembly process and enables step to differentiate the manufacturing process from assembly process.
