Photovoltaic component

Abstract

The invention relates to a photovoltaic component (10) for applications outside the automotive sector, in particular for buildings, containers, boats, ships, construction vehicles, agricultural vehicles, trains and aircraft. The photovoltaic component has an outer pane (11) and an inner pane (12). Interposed between the outer pane (11) and the inner pane (12) is an energy generating layer (15) having a plurality of concentrator photovoltaic modules (20), the concentrator photovoltaic modules (20) having a condenser lens (21) as a primary optic and a photovoltaic chip (22) integrated into a surface mountable housing (30). The surface mountable housing (30) has at least two electrical contacts (22a, 22b) for contacting the photovoltaic chip (22), a transparent cover (36) and an integrated reflector (23) as secondary optics.
