Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a CPV module wherein a solder paste is used as an alternative to wire bonds or braided ribbon/mesh connectors to facilitate the electrical connectivity between the concentrated photovoltaic receiver cell or die of the CPV module and the conductive pattern of the underlying substrate thereof. In accordance with the present invention, the possibility of accidentally shorting the top of the receiver die with the other metal parts of the CPV module is avoided by molding at least the periphery of the receiver die with a mold body, and then dispensing or printing the conductive paste between the top of the receiver die and the substrate, the mold body defining a reservoir which facilities the flow of the conductive paste in a prescribed pattern.
