Abstract: A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module, comprising at least two electrically connected photovoltaic cells, the module comprising an insulating substrate covered with a layer of a first conductive material. The method comprises: a) forming a groove defining a first and second lower electrode; and b) forming, on each lower electrode, a stack comprising an upper electrode and a photo-active layer. The method further comprises, between steps a) and b), forming: a first insulating step on the groove; then a conductive strip partially covering the first insulating strip; then a second insulating strip partially covering the conductive strip.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module (10), comprising the following steps: forming, on an electrically conducting material, a furrow (20A) defining a first (18A) and second (18B) lower electrode; then forming, on each lower electrode, a stack (34) comprising at least one upper electrode (36) and an intermediate photo-active layer (38), to form a first (16A) and second (16B) photovoltaic cell, respectively; then forming an electrical connection (17A) between said cells (16A, 16B). Before the stacks, the following are formed: a first insulating strip (22A) in the furrow (20A); and a second electrically insulating strip (24B) on the second lower electrode, delimiting an inactive area (28B) on said second electrode. The stack (34) next formed on the second cell is positioned outside the inactive area.
