Abstract

L'invention concerne un module solaire à couche mince (1) comprenant une pluralité de cellules solaires à couche mince (11) branchées en série pour produire de l'énergie photovoltaïque. Le module comprend deux substrats (2, 10) reliés l'un à l'autre par une couche d'adhésif (9). Chaque cellule solaire présente un empilement de couches, disposé entre les deux substrats, lequel empilement de couches comprend une première couche d'électrode (5), une deuxième couche d'électrode (8) et une couche semi-conductrice (6) disposée entre les deux couches d'électrode. La couche semi-conductrice forme selon l'invention une jonction PN, et elle est dopée avec un agent dopant. A cet effet, il importe que la couche d'adhésif contienne l'agent dopant en une quantité telle qu'elle empêche une diffusion de l'agent dopant de la couche semi-conductrice dans la couche d'adhésif.
