Abstract
A method of forming a solar battery assembly. The method includes the steps of: providing a plurality of spherically-shaped cells, each having a semiconductor layer and an outer electrode layer; forming a solder layer between the plurality of spherically-shaped cells so as to maintain the plurality of spherically-shaped cells in a desired relationship; removing a part of the outer electrode layer to expose a part of the semiconductor layer; and placing an inner electrode in contact with the exposed part of the semiconductor layer.
