  • Procedure for producing an integrated system of thin-film solar cells connected in series
    Patent number: 4758526
    Abstract: A process for producing an integrated system of thin-film solar cells (14, 15) connected in series, wherein a first electrode layer is initially large-area deposited on a substrate and subsequently a photosensitive layer composed of sublayers is applied. Before structuring of the layers, for the purpose of series connecting, a second electrode layer is large-area applied on the photosensitive layer. Predetermined areas are then removed from the three layers to permit connection (12) of the now insulated individual solar cells (14, 15). This technique, overall, is particularly economical.
