    摘要: A photovoltaic apparatus (200) is provided including a back sheet (210) and a photovoltaic device (100) disposed over the back sheet. The photovoltaic device includes an array of photovoltaic cells (101-104) extending in a first direction; and a plurality of serial interconnects (191) having a length that extends in a second direction, wherein each serial interconnect is disposed between and electrically connects consecutive photovoltaic cells of the array. The photovoltaic apparatus further includes a front sheet (250) disposed over the photovoltaic device, the front sheet having a plurality of structures (220), wherein each structure has one or more edges (221) aligned with one of the serial interconnects.
