Electrochromic window fabrication methods

A method of manufacturing a glass sheet comprising an electrochromic device deposited thereon, the method comprising:

• determining a usable area of the glass sheet from which to cut a plurality of electrochromic panes, wherein the usable area is an area of the glass sheet in which the electrochromic device is disposed;
• determining one or more characteristics and/or parameters for each electrochromic pane of the plurality of electrochromic panes to be cut from the glass sheet;
• defining a cutting pattern for cutting the glass sheet to create the plurality of electrochromic panes, wherein the cutting pattern is based on the one or more characteristics and/or parameters;
• and
• applying the cutting pattern to the glass sheet;
• wherein the one or more characteristics and/or parameters include one or more of grade, quality, size, shape, demand, yield, utilization of the usable area of the glass sheet, properties of the electrochromic device, leakage current, resistance, economic demand, or condition;
• and
• wherein defining the cutting pattern includes comparing the one or more characteristics and/or parameters of one electrochromic pane to another electrochromic pane of the plurality of electrochromic panes.
