INTEGRATED ARRAY OF SERIAL-CONNECTED SOLAR CELLS

摘要

1. An integrated solar cell arrangement in which a number of solar cells with semiconductor zone sequences forming PN-junctions and built up perpendicularly of the plane of a semiconductor substrate are arranged at intervals from one another and in a row parallel to said plane in said semiconductor substrate and are connected in series by conductor paths arranged on the semiconductor substrate and contacting the semiconductor zones, characterized in that the two surfaces of a highly resistive semiconductor substrate each have arranged on them a row or strip-like, alternately p**+- and n**+- conducting semiconductor zones arranged parallel to one another at intervals apart, in such a way that an n**+- conducting semiconductor substrate zone on one surface of the semiconducteur faces a p**+- conducting semiconductor zone on the other surface and in that conductor paths each connecting a solar cell zone sequence to an adjacent solar cell zone sequence are alternately arranged on one surface and the other surface of the semiconductor substrate.
