Summary: | One embodiment of the present invention provides a solar cell. The solar cell includes a photovoltaic structure and a front-side metal grid (300) situated above the photovoltaic structure. The front-side metal grid also includes one or more electroplated metal layers. The front- side metal grid includes one or more finger lines (302, 304), and each end of a respective finger line is coupled to a corresponding end of an adjacent finger line via an additional metal line (306, 308, 314, 316, 318, 320), thus ensuring that the respective finger line has no open end. |
