1. A method of manufacturing an electrochromic device comprising an electrochromic stack between a first and a second transparent electrically conductive layer configured to establish an electrical potential across the electrochromic stack and thereby cause optical switching of the electrochromic device, the method of manufacturing comprising:
(a) fabricating the electrochromic stack on a glass substrate without pre-patterning in a first facility;
(b) shipping the glass substrate including the electrochromic stack to a second facility; and
(c) performing post-processing in the second facility,
further comprising (d) deactivating the electrochromic stack under at least one of one or more bus bars applied on the glass substrate during post-processing.
