1. A photovoltaic cell assembly comprising:

  • a plurality of photovoltaic cells comprising;

    a photoactive portion with a top surface;

    a top collection structure on the top surface andan opposing conductive substrate layer on a side of the photoactive portion opposite the top surfacea first conductive element with a first surface and wherein the first conductive element is bent at least once along its longest dimension and wherein the at least one bend forms an angle α

    from 0° and

    45°

    ;

    wherein the first surface is in contact with the top collection structure and/or the top surface of a first photovoltaic cell and the opposing conductive substrate layer of an adjacent second photovoltaic cell;

    further wherein at least a portion of the first surface is held in contact to the cells by an adhesive.
