Photovoltaic device and method of manufacturing the same

A photovoltaic device comprising at least a serially interconnected first photovoltaic device cell and second photovoltaic device cell that succeeds the first photovoltaic device cell in a succession direction and that is electrically connected in series therewith, wherein each photovoltaic device cell comprising, of the first and second photovoltaic device cells, comprises:

• a respective transparent electrode layer region, wherein each transparent electrode layer region of the first and second photovoltaic device cells, is distinct from another respective transparent electrode layer region in said succession direction;
• a respective set of one or more electrical conductors arranged on a surface of each transparent electrode region, the electrical conductors having a first main surface forming an electrical contact with the respective transparent electrode region, and having a second main surface opposite the first main surface, wherein the second main surface has an exposed end-portion forming a further electric contact in a direction away from the succession direction, a remaining portion of the second main surface being electrically insulated,
• a respective photo-voltaic stack portion, each photovoltaic stack portion extending over the respective transparent electrode region and over the insulated portion of the one or more conductors of the respective set of one or more electrical conductors,
• a respective further electrode region that extends over the respective photovoltaic stack portion,
• wherein the respective further electrode region of the at least a first photovoltaic device cell extends over the electric contacts formed by the exposed ends of the set of one or more electrical conductors of the at least a second photovoltaic device cell.
