Abstract
Disclosed is a method for producing an array of thin-film solar cells so that the individual solar cells are electrically connected in series. Individual solar cells are manufactured by depositing and structuring the layers required by each solar cell on a large-area substrate. According to the invention, a first electrode layer is structured before subsequent layers, including a semiconductive material layer and a second electrode layer, are deposited. Preferably, the structures of the subsequently deposited layers are determined by simultaneously applying material in paste form to the first electrode layer.
