    Patent number: 6555739
    Abstract: A photovoltaic array includes a plurality of solar cells electrically coupled in series with one another via a plurality of electrically conductive interconnect members and end members. The solar cells and interconnect members are bonded to the array surface of a substrate with double-sided pressure sensitive adhesive, and the interconnect members and end members are electrically coupled to the solar cells via a dry electrical contact. The method of manufacturing the array reduces complexity, time, and costs.
