Abstract
In order to simplify the usability of solid state detectors, in particular mobile and wireless solid state detectors, a solid state detector is disclosed for recording X-ray images. The detector includes a structurally integrated photovoltaic power supply device. According to one configuration, the solid state detector includes an accumulator and the accumulator is rechargeable by the photovoltaic power supply device, for example by integrated solar cells.
