Abstract: A method of making a solar cell assembly includes placing backsides of multiple solar cells in contact with a substrate. The solar cells are electrically connected to each other. Heat and pressure are applied to the solar cells and the substrate to simultaneously impress the solar cells into the substrate and bond the solar cells to the substrate.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a substrate having a curvature to form a lift surface, a plurality of solar cells carried by, bonded to, and impressed into the substrate, and electrical connections between the solar cells carried by the substrate. The electrical connections coupled to link the solar cells together to provide power to the aircraft while in flight.
