NOVELTY - The module has an electrically insulating continuous backplane layer that covers first patterned cell metallization of the back-contact solar cells. A second patterned cell metallization is interconnected to first patterned cell metallization of back-contact solar cells. The second patterned cell metallization has a positive electrical bussing connector and a corresponding peripheral positive module electrical lead and a negative electrical bussing connector and a corresponding peripheral negative module electrical lead.    USE - Photovoltaic monolithic solar module for energy generation.    ADVANTAGE - The base fingers and emitter fingers are tapered with a wider side proximate the fingers corresponding busbar to improve current collection efficiency and to reduce the parasitic ohmic losses. The solar module/cell array utilizes very short snap-on connectors for module to module interconnection between select adjacent corners, or alternatively interconnecting designated module corners directly by snapping on the backside corner connector of module on the frontside corner connector of another module. Thus, the through module-to-module copper wiring material and labor costs are significantly reduced by providing the monolithic internal bussing interconnects and related peripheral connectors which minimize external module wiring and eliminate the need for external module wiring. The short rapid snap-on connectors between adjacent corners of the modules are used to replace module-to-module copper wirings reducing module wiring/interconnection material and installation labor costs for the photovoltaic (PV) system and resulting in reduced installed system balance-of-system costs. The monolithic sub-modules are fabricated and stitched together thus providing increased variability in cell and module fabrication and design.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for fabricating photovoltaic solar cell array.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic diagram illustrating a top view of the representative five by six solar cell array/module.    Backplane (24)
