A method for making a photovoltaic slat for a photovoltaic blind, wherein it comprises the steps of:
- a. providing a photovoltaic sheet comprising at least one photovoltaic strip, said photovoltaic strip comprising at least one string of thin film solar cells monolithically connected to each other in series;
- b. cutting out a portion of the photovoltaic sheet having a shape of the photovoltaic slat suitable for the photovoltaic blind, said portion comprising at least one of said strings;
- c. providing in said portion of the photovoltaic sheet at least two through holes suitable for being passed through by connection elements for connecting a plurality of the photovoltaic slats in the photovoltaic blind.
A photovoltaic sheet comprising at least one photovoltaic strip, each photovoltaic strip comprising at least one string of thin film solar cells monolithically connected to each other in series.
A photovoltaic slat for a photovoltaic blind, comprising at least one string of thin film solar cells monolithically connected to each other in series, said photovoltaic slat being provided with at least two through holes suitable for being passed through by connection elements for connecting a plurality of photovoltaic slats in the photovoltaic blind, wherein there is no close-pattern isolation groove surrounding the at least two through holes.
