Abstract
A two terminal, multiple cell photovoltaic device, each including materials having mutually imcompatible preparatory processes, is manufactured by separately forming the cells on substrates and adhering the cells with a light-transmissive, electrically conductive adhesive. Highly efficient photovoltaic devices including electrodeposited cells of cadmium sulfide and cadmium telluride can be combined with evaporated and condensed cells of cadmium sulfide and copper indium diselenide can be manufactured according to the invention.
