A solar cell receiver is provided that includes a semiconductor element that has a front face, a solar cell provided on the front face, a rear face, multiple lateral surfaces and two electric connectors; a carrier for receiving the semiconductor element, the rear face of the element being fixed to the carrier; and an optical element for concentrating the light onto the rear face of the semiconductor element. The optical element has an underside which partially faces the upper side of the semiconductor element, the underside of the optical element has a first shaped section with a first surface that lies on the front face of the semiconductor element and a second surface that lies on the carrier. The shaped section is designed as a cavity or groove.

Solar cell receiver

The invention relates to a solar cell which consists of a doped semiconductor base body and metallic connection contacts on the front and rear sides. For interconnection with further solar cells to form solar modules in series or parallel connection, at least one of the connection contacts comprises a connector contact which is homogeneously integrated with it, protrudes from the semiconductor base body and is deformable.

Method of manufacturing a solar cell

A space solar cell comprising a doped semiconductor basic element and metallic contacts on the front and rear, and a cover glass with contacts. To draw off the electrostatic charge generated on the surface of the cover glass of the solar cell, either a part of a connector contact homogeneously integrated with the contacts and projecting from the semiconductor element extends in a shapeable manner onto the cover glass of the solar cell, or a connector contact homogeneously integrated with the contact of the cover glass and projecting from the cover glass is connected to an electric contact of the solar cell.

Space solar cell

The invention relates to a solar generator comprising separate and spaced semiconductor solar cells having surfaces provided for light incidence and electrically interconnected connection contacts for the surfaces and opposite rear faces, and having separate surface coverings for the various solar cells. The surface coverings here are so designed that the spaces between adjacent solar cells in which the connection contacts are located are each covered by a bridge.
