Abstract:
A method for fabricating a photovoltaic module is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes: providing a plurality of photovoltaic substrates having a front side; attaching the plurality of photovoltaic substrates to a transparent carrier with the front side of the photovoltaic substrates facing the carrier; and rear side processing of the plurality of photovoltaic substrates for forming photovoltaic cells, wherein rear side processing includes a single metallization process for forming electrical contacts to n-type regions and to p-type regions at the rear side of the plurality of photovoltaic cells and for interconnecting the photovoltaic cells within the photovoltaic module.
