Abstract
The invention concerns a manufacturing method for electro-optical or electrochemical photovoltaic cells (10), each cell (10) including front (1) and back (2) substrates bonded to each other by a sealing frame in which an active medium is confined, each frame (12) having, for this purpose, a filling aperture (14), the cell (10) further including contact pads (8) for establishing the electric connection between the electrodes (4, 6) of said cell (10) and an electric supply or control circuit, a method wherein the cells (10) are separated individually by means of a water jet and the rectilinear edges (24) scribed on one of the substrates (1, 2) in order to allow the contact pads (8) of the cells (10) to appear are situated in a location not opposite the filling aperture (14) thereof.
