Photovoltaic apparatus and method of manufacturing a photovoltaic apparatus

摘要

A photovoltaic apparatus includes a first conductive layer, a semiconductor layer and a second conductive layer on a substrate. The first conductive layer is divided into a first electrode layer and into a peripheral first electrode layer by the lower peripheral groove filled up with a first peripheral insulating material. The first upper peripheral groove is provided at the upper portion of the lower peripheral groove, to divide the semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer. The second peripheral insulating material is provided at the outer region of the lower peripheral groove to divide the semiconductor layer. The second upper part peripheral groove is provided at the upper part of the second peripheral insulating material to divide the semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer.
