A solar cell includes a substrate carrier for current generating photoactive layers that include at least one front layer and one layer toward the substrate of different polarities, a front contact, at least one back contact and an integral protective diode which has a polarity opposite the solar cell integrated in and disposed on a front side of the solar cell and including at least one diode semiconductor layer. A tunnel diode extends between the photoactive layers and a region of the substrate toward the front, the tunnel diode being recessed adjacent the protective diode. The region of the substrate toward the front, or a layer toward the front applied to or formed by the front, together with a photoactive layer of corresponding polarity toward the front, make up the at least one diode semiconductor layer of the protective diode.
