Abstract
A method for processing an edge of a photovoltaic panel is described. A first electrically-conductive film, a photovoltaic film and a second electrically-conductive film are serially formed as a stack of three films over a surface of a substrate. An edge section of the stack of three films is removed from the surface of the substrate by sandblasting. At least two separate grooves are formed by laser scribing on all the three films adjacent to the removed edge section of the stack of three films.
