Abstract
A uniform layer of insulating material is used to separate the connectors from the non-illuminated side of a back-contact solar cell, particularly a cell of the MWT type, the layer preferably being a uniform woven or non-woven fabric of a heat-resistant material such as glass fiber, and the electrical connection between the contact points of the cell and the connectors being made through the uniform layer thereby partially embedding the insulating material in the connection.
