Abstract

L'invention porte sur un module photovoltaïque comprenant un substrat allongé dans lequel au moins une partie du substrat allongé est rigide. Une ou plusieurs cellules solaires sont disposées sur le substrat allongé et comprennent chacune : (i) une électrode arrière disposée sur le substrat allongé, (ii) une couche de jonction semi-conductrice disposée sur l'ensemble ou une partie d'une surface de l'électrode arrière, et (iii) une couche conductrice transparente, ayant un premier indice de réfraction, disposée sur l'ensemble ou une partie d'une surface de la jonction semi-conductrice. Le module photovoltaïque comprend en outre un matériau de remplissage, ayant un second indice de réfraction qui est inférieur ou égal au premier indice de réfraction, disposé sur la couche conductrice transparente de la ou des cellules solaires. Le module photovoltaïque comprend en outre un boîtier transparent disposé sur le matériau de remplissage pour ainsi sceller hermétiquement le module photovoltaïque.
