Reformed front contact current collector grid and cell interconnect for a photovoltaic cell module

A photovoltaic module comprising:

• a plurality of individual photovoltaic cell strips, each said cell strip having an electrically conductive substrate, a semiconductor body deposited on said substrate, and a transparent electrically conductive layer deposited on said semiconductor body;
• unitary grid and interconnect means for collecting current from a said strip and interconnecting adjacent ones of said strip, including a current collecting grid section and an interconnector said unitary grid and interconnect means including a current collecting bus, said grid section comprising a plurality of fingers extending from said bus, said interconnector extending from said current collecting bus;
• an electrically conductive adhesive disposed between and electrically connecting said grid to said transparent electrically conductive layer;
• and,
• means for electrically connecting said interconnector of one of said cell strips to said electrically conductive substrate of an adjacent one of said cell strips.
