Abstract

L'invention concerne des perfectionnements aux batteries de piles photovoltaïques utilisables pour l'énergie solaire. Batterie de piles photovoltaïque il, 12, 13 comprenant : un substrat 10, une électrode inférieure, une première couche de sulfure de cadmium, une deuxième couche de sulfure cuivreux formant une jonction du type barrière avec ladite première couche et une électrode supérieure, ladite batterie étant caractérisée en ce que ledit substrat est en une céramique électriquement isolante et l'électrode inférieure est en une céramique électriquement conductrice réunie par fusion audit substrat. Ladite couche conductrice est facultativement revêtue avec un métal possédant une haute conductivité électrique. Application aux batteries de piles solaires.The invention relates to improvements to photovoltaic cell batteries usable for solar energy. Photovoltaic cell battery II, 12, 13 comprising: a substrate 10, a lower electrode, a first layer of cadmium sulfide, a second layer of cuprous sulfide forming a barrier-type junction with said first layer and an upper electrode, said battery being characterized in that said substrate is of an electrically insulating ceramic and the lower electrode is of an electrically conductive ceramic fused together with said substrate. Said conductive layer is optionally coated with a metal having high electrical conductivity. Application to solar cell batteries.
