Abstract

Photovoltaic cell comprises an aluminium substrate in ohmic contact with and firmly adherent to a first layer of CdS or CdSe, itself coated with a junction barrier layer of CuS or CuSe and a final conductive layer. The aluminium support has a thermal expansion behaviour similar to the first layer. The supporting substrate also forms the conductive terminal plate. The Al may be in the form of a thin sheet or a film vapour deposit on a flexible plastic (Kapton RTM).
