Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method of producing a photovoltaic apparatus. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate; forming a first conducting electrode layer on the substrate; forming a first charge selective layer at least partially over the first conducting electrode layer; forming a photoactive layer at least partially over the first charge selective layer; forming a second charge selective layer at least partially over the photoactive layer; removing portions the formed layers at predetermined intervals along the substrate creating discrete layer sections partially forming individual photovoltaic modules; and printing a second conducting electrode layer partially over the discrete layer sections and substrate to form a plurality of photovoltaic modules, each photovoltaic module having first and second module terminals, a plurality of inter-module rails, each inter-module rail being located between adjacent photovoltaic modules, a first bus bar extending along one side of the photovoltaic modules, and a second bus bar extending along an opposite side of the photovoltaic modules.
