    Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic article comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells having first (22) and second (24) electrical connector segments in contact with the top side (18) of a first cell (10) and the backside (16) of a second adjacent cell (12). The materials used to form the electrical connector segments are selected to minimize corrosion, maximize contact area, and lower contact resistance over the lifetime of the article.
