PHOTOVOLTAIC COMPONENT FOR USE UNDER CONCENTRATED SOLAR RADIATION

摘要

A photovoltaic component including a set of layers suitable for producing a photovoltaic device is disclosed. The component has at least one first layer made of a conductive material forming a back electrical contact, a second layer made of a material that is absorbent in the solar spectrum, and a third layer made of a transparent conductive material forming a front electrical contact, and an electrically insulating layer arranged between said back electrical contact and said front electrical contact. The third layer is discontinuous in order to allow said layers of said set of layers to be stacked in one or more zones to form, in each of these zones, an active photovoltaic zone, and a fourth layer made of a conductive material, making electrical contact with said third layer made of a transparent conductive material, to form a peripheral electrical contact for each of said photovoltaic microcells.
