Abstract
A method for manufacturing solar cell chips having an active surface area configured to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy. The method including cutting the solar cell chips out of a wafer using a laser such that the solar cell chips include a non-rectangular geometry. The non-rectangular geometry facilitate continuous cutting by the laser and maximizing a number of solar cell chips cut from the wafer.
