      abstract     = {The paper introduces a newtype of series connection that
                      considerably increases the active area and thus the
                      efficiency of a thin film module by a superior arrangement
                      of the patterning grooves. The new concept is mainly based
                      on pointwise contacts instead of continuous, stripe-like
                      contacts between adjacent cell stripes combined with
                      amodified arrangement of the isolation grooves. We describe
                      the functionality of the innovative series connection and
                      present a method to calculate the optimal cell stripe
                      geometry for cells based on the new series connection
                      concept. Finally, the applicability of the new concept for a
                      laser-patterned thin film silicon solarmodule is
                      demonstrated. The new series connection leads to a relative
                      efficiency increase of approximately $3\%$ compared with the
                      standard series connection for thin film modules.},
