Zusammenfassung:	Multi-junction photovoltaic modules are provided comprising a plurality of photovoltaic structures, a PV encapsulant, a plurality of encapsulating glass layers, and a structural glass layer. The photovoltaic structures define distinct absorption bands and are positioned with the encapsulating glass layers and the structural glass layer. The photovoltaic structures are at least partially surrounded by the PV encapsulant and are separated by respective flexible encapsulating glass layers to electrically isolate adjacent photovoltaic structures and permit the photovoltaic structures to be configured in a parallel or serial PV stacked cell circuit. L'invention concerne des modules photovoltaïques multi-jonction comprenant une pluralité de structures photovoltaïques, un encapsulant PV, une pluralité de couches de verre encapsulantes, et une couche de verre structurelle. Les structures photovoltaïques définissent des bandes d'absorption distinctes et sont positionnées avec les couches de verre encapsulantes et la couche de verre structurelle. Les structures photovoltaïques sont au moins partiellement entourées par l'encapsulant PV et sont séparées par des couches de verre encapsulantes flexibles respectives pour isoler électriquement des structures photovoltaïques adjacentes et permettre aux structures photovoltaïques d'être configurées en un circuit de cellules empilées PV en parallèle ou en série.
