Abstract

The invention relates to a production method for a solar cell and to the solar cell itself which comprises an integrated bypass diode on the side facing away from the incidence of light and which can be produced in a simple manner by diffusion. A one-piece electric conductor serves to connect two successive solar cells in series and simultaneously effects the contacting of the corresponding bypass diode.
