Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement having at least one solar cell, which is formed by a first sequence of differently doped layers () on a substrate (), and at least one bypass diode, which is connected to the solar cell, particularly in a monolithic, series-connected solar module. The arrangement is characterized in that the bypass diode is formed by a second sequence of layers (), which is arranged between the substrate () and the first layer sequence (). With the proposed arrangement monolithic, series-connected solar modules can be formed at a very low loss of active receiving surface, the solar cells of which are protected by bypass diodes.
