See full text

A photovoltaic device is disclosed, which includes a transparent substrate, a set of photovoltaic cells and at least one bypass diode device. The photovoltaic cells are connected to each other in series and include a plurality of front electrode segments formed on the transparent substrate, a plurality of photoelectric conversion segments of semiconductor material formed on the front electrode segments, and a plurality of first back electrode segments of metal formed on the photoelectric conversion segments respectively. The bypass diode device is formed on the transparent substrate and substantially equal in layer construction to each of the photovoltaic cells, where the bypass diode and the photovoltaic cells share two or more of the front electrode segments.
