PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H01L31/42 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: photovoltaic device containing a photovoltaic cell (60) with thin active layers (15) applied on the substrate (10). The named active layers are not segmented, and the static converter (50), connected with each photovoltaic cell (60). Each photovoltaic cell (60) outputs electrical power with a peak current (I_cc) and rated voltage (V_p), and each static converter (50) is designed with a possibility of transmission of electrical power, outputted by a photovoltaic cell, to the load (100), decreasing the transmitted current and increasing the transmitted voltage. Meanwhile the active layers of photovoltaic cell cover more than 95% of the layer area, and the named photovoltaic cell is capable to produce a current achieving 150 A at a voltage rating below 1 V. Therefore, on one panel the laser segmentation of photovoltaic cells is limited and even completely eliminated.

EFFECT: increased productivity of manufacture of the photovoltaic device and minimizing the dead areas.
