FIELD: physics, photography.
SUBSTANCE: photovoltaic device includes: a set of at least two photovoltaic cells (160, 260), an intermediate sheet material (300) placed between each photovoltaic cell, each photovoltaic cell comprising: two current terminals (185, 185'), at least one photovoltaic junction (150, 250), a current-collecting bus (180, 180'), and connecting strips (190, 190') which extend from the current-collecting bus to the current terminals, all the current terminals being located on the same side.
EFFECT: photovoltaic device according to the invention enables to meet the need for a multiple-junction and multiple-terminal photovoltaic device, in which the risk of short-circuiting between current-collecting strips of each cell is minimised and in which control can be performed using only one junction box, and also meets the need for a method of making a multiple-junction photovoltaic device which facilitates connection of current terminals of each photovoltaic cell to a junction box.
