An adjustment-tolerant photovoltaic cell in which the front face has at least three sub-segments which can be directly struck by electromagnetic radiation is provided. At least two sub-segments are in the form of a first segment type, and at least one sub-segment is in the form of a second segment type. The sub-segments can be arranged such that at least two separate segment regions, which can be directly struck by the electromagnetic radiation, are formed for each of the first and the second segment types. At least two sub-segments of the first segment type can be connected to each other in parallel and/or are connected to each other via a transition region which ensures the lateral flow of current. Furthermore, the sub-segments of the first segment type can be connected in series to the at least one sub-segment of the second segment type.
