PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL FOR INTEGRATED BUILDING APPLICATIONS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THIS CELL

摘要

A photovoltaic cell (1), for integrated building applications in particular, comprises at least a support element (2) and an active structure (3) arranged on the support element (2) and capable of converting light energy into electrical energy by photovoltaic effect; the support element (2) is a tile (5) of glass or a moulded polymeric material, which extends between two opposite faces (6, 7) provided with respective series of projections (10) defining light orientation patterns for confining the light incident on a first face (6) inside the tile (5) and onto the active structure (3).
