A PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A photovoltaic panel (1) is provided, comprising in the order named, a first electrically conductive layer (10), a photo-voltaic layer (20) of a perovskite photovoltaic material, a second electrically conductive layer (30), and a protective coating (40) that at least forms a barrier against moisture. The first electrically conductive layer (10) is partitioned along first partitioning lines (L11, L12) extending in a first direction (D1). The second electrically conductive layer (30) and the photovoltaic layer (20) are partitioned along second partitioning lines (L21, L22) extending in the first direction (D1) and along third partitioning lines (L31, L32) extending in a second direction (D2) different from the first direction (D11). The first and the second partitioning lines alternate each other and a space (50) is defined by the first and third partitioning lines that is filled with a protective filler material forming a barrier against moisture, therewith defining photovoltaic cells encapsulated by the protective material of the coating and the protective filler material.
