Abstract
A photovoltaic device comprises a light transmissive insulating substrate, on which a plurality of isolated transparent electrodes are formed. An amorphous silicon layer of a PIN structure, for example, is formed on the substrate continuously and in common to the respective transparent electrodes. Aluminum electrodes are formed on the surface of the amorphous silicon layer so as to correspond to the respective transparent electrodes. The transparent electrodes and the aluminum electrodes are electrically connected to the adjacent opponent electrodes to withdraw in a series fashion photovoltaic power generated at the respective photoelectric conversion regions.
