An encapsulated photovoltaic cell device includes a photovoltaic cell (48), and a housing defining an inner chamber. The top (41) of the inner chamber allows light to pass through it. The inner surface (42) of the sidewall of the inner chamber is reflective. The housing also includes a membrane (44), which allows the passage of gases into and out of the inner chamber, and inhibits the ingress of moisture and other corrosive materials. |
