Abstract
A solar cell comprises a first sealed glass envelope on which is deposited a solar radiation-absorbing material and a second sealed envelope placed around the first envelope in such a way that a space is created between the two envelopes in which a very low pressure is established, whereby the solar energy-absorbing material according to the invention is formed by at least one layer of a glass - metal compound covered by a layer of the oxides of the said metal.
