Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006053518A1] The current invention concerns an arrangement comprising at least one solar cell, which is formed by a first sequence (1, 2, 11, 12) of differently doped layers on a substrate (6, 16), and at least one bypass diode, which is connected to the solar cell, in particular in a monolithic, series-connected solar module. The arrangement is characterised in that the bypass diode is formed by a second layer sequence (4, 5, 13, 14), which is arranged between the substrate and the first layer sequence (1, 2, 11, 12). With the current arrangement it is possible to form monolithic, series-connected solar modules in which the solar cells are protected by bypass diodes, with only a very slight loss of active receiving surface.
