Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic cell (1) having an absorbent photovoltaic material, especially a cadmium-based material, said cell comprising a front face substrate (10), especially a transparent glass substrate, having, on a main surface, a transparent electrode coating (100) consisting of a thin-film stack that includes at least one metallic functional layer (40), especially one based on silver, and at least two antireflection coatings (20, 60), said antireflection coatings each comprising at least one antireflection layer (24, 26; 66, 68), said functional layer (40) being placed between the two antireflection coatings (20, 60), characterized in that the antireflection coating (60) placed above the metallic functional layer (40) on the opposite side from the substrate comprises at least two antireflection layers (66, 68), the antireflection layer (68) furthest from the metallic functional layer (40) being more resistive than the antireflection layer (66) closest to the metallic functional layer (40)
