Close up of a screen used for printing the front contact of a solar cell. During printing, metal paste is forced through the wire mesh in unmasked areas. The size of the wire mesh determines the minimum width of the fingers. Finger widths are typically 100 to 200 µm. Close up of a finished screen-printed solar cell.

Solar Photovoltaic Technology Basics
During lay-up, solar cells are stringed and placed between sheets of EVA. The next step in the solar panel manufacturing process is lamination. Solar panel manufacturing process. After having produced the solar cells and placed the electrical contacts between the cells, they are then wired and subsequently arrayed. Solar panel lamination
This is known as the photovoltaic (PV) effect. This chapter is an effort to outline fabrication processes and manufacturing methodologies for commercial production of large area PV modules as an alternative green source of energy.
