NOVELTY - The solar cell assembly has support which is comprised of first side and opposing second side, and a first conductive layer which is comprised of first and second spaced-apart conductive portions disposed on the second side of support. The solar cells (810-817) are mounted on the first side of support, and a top surface includes a contact of first polarity type. A first terminal of module is disposed on the second side of support, and a second terminal of module is disposed on the second side of support and connected to second conductive portion of first conductive layer.    USE - Solar cell assembly.    ADVANTAGE - Reduces the deterioration of the performance of the entire string of solar cell assemblies when one of the solar cell assemblies is damaged or shaded by comprising a bypass diode. Reduces the risk of formation of cracks when the assembly is subjected to bending forces by utilizing bonding material spread over a substantial portion of the surface of support.

The solar cells are mounted on the first side of support, and a top surface includes a contact of first polarity type. A first terminal of module is disposed on the second side of support, and a second terminal of module is disposed on the second side of support and connected to second conductive portion of first conductive layer. Enhances the reliability of the performance of each string of modules since the risk of errors can be reduced. Achieves the desired interconnection of the solar cells mounted on the front side of the support by removing selected portions of an original conductive layer.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a top perspective view of a portion of the support after which two rows of solar cells have been mounted.
