Abstract

See full text

A photovoltaic device (1) is provided with a first electrode layer (11), a photovoltaic layer (13), a second charge carrier transport layer (14) and a second electrode layer (15). The photovoltaic device (1) has a plurality of mutually subsequent photovoltaic device cells (1A, . . . , 1F) arranged in a first direction (D1). Each pair of a photovoltaic cell (1C) and its successor are serially connected in an interface region (1CD). The interface region comprises an elongate region (R0) between successive first electrode layer portion (11C, 11D), a first elongate region (R1) between successive photovoltaic layer portions (13A, 13B), a second elongate region (R2) between successive second charge carrier transport layer portions (14C, 14D) and a third elongate region (R3) between successive second electrode layer (15) portions (15C, 15D). The second elongate region (R2) extends within the first elongate region (R1), and its lateral boundaries are distinct from those of the first elongate region (R1).
