NOVELTY - The solar module has several super cells (100) arranged in two or more parallel rows. The super cell comprises several rectangular silicon solar cells (10) that are arranged in line conductively bonded directly to selectrically connect the silicon solar cells in series. The first solar cell is located at an intermediate position along a first one of super cells in a first one of rows of super cells and the hidden tap contact pad is electrically connected in parallel to a second solar cell in a second one of rows of super cells.    USE - The solar module of solar energy system (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The high efficiency configuration of solar cells in a solar cell module is provided. The safe and reliable operation of the solar module are facilitated by effective heat conduction along the super cells through the bonded overlapping portions of adjacent solar cells. The formation of hot spots in reverse biased solar cells is prevented or reduced. The robustness of the module with respect to thermal damage is enhanced. The solar cell module efficiently use the area of the solar module such that the series resistance is reduced and increase module efficiency. The front surface metallization patterns on the solar cells enable single step stencil printing and facilitated by the overlapping configuration of the solar cells in the super cells. The solar cells are manufactured with reduced carrier recombination losses at edges of the solar cell without cleaved edges that promote carrier recombination.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a method of manufacturing solar cells; and    (2) a method of making a string of solar cells from cleaved solar cells.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross-sectional diagram of a string of series-connected solar cells arranged in a shingled manner with the ends of adjacent solar cells overlapping to form a shingled super cell.
