Abstract

A photovoltaic cell includes an edge; an interconnection conductive track extending parallel to the edge to within 1.3 mm; and a plurality of electrodes, called “collection fingers”, extending parallel to each other and electrically connected to the interconnection track; the interconnection conductive track including a plurality of spaced-apart closed-contour conductive patterns, each closed-contour conductive pattern including a closed contour surrounding a portion of the first face.
