The thin-film solar cell contains at least two pin (nip) solar cells that are arranged relative to one another as a tandem cell, the neighboring layers of the two solar cells being of the same conductivity type. The two solar cells are interconnected to one another in a parallel circuit. The thin-film solar cell arrangement is suitable for module structure comprising series interconnection, whereby the parallel circuit of the respectively two solar cells in the tandem cell ensues together with the series interconnection.
