Solar cell array solutions including monolithic solar cell arrays and fabrication methods. A first patterned cell metallization contacts base and emitter regions of each of a plurality of solar cells having a light receiving frontside and a backside. An electrically insulating continuous backplane layer is attached to the backside of the solar cells and covers the first cell metallization of each of the solar cells. Via holes through the continuous backplane layer provide access to the first cell metallization. A second cell metallization is connected to the first cell metallization of each of the solar cells and electrically interconnects the solar cells in the array.
