ABSTRACT:
The battery is of the type including a plurality of laminar semi-conductor bodies arranged on a dielectric support in parallel relation to each other and each comprising respectively layers of two different but oppositely conducting semi-conductor material forming a photovoltaic junction, with the layer adjacent the support being of the same conducting type in all of the semi-conductor bodies, and including contact strips electrically interconnecting oppositely conducting layers of adjacent semi-conductor bodies and extending throughout the length thereof. The support has one surface thereof formed with a plurality of V-shape notches extending parallel to each other and separated by lands, and the semi-conductor bodies are applied directly to the lands. The contact strips extend in the notches between two adjacent lands and are, along the edge of one land, in electrical contact with the inner layer of the respective semi-conductor body on the one land and which is directly adjacent the support. Along the other edge, each contact strip is in electrical contact with the outer layer of the respective semi-conductor body on the other land and which is remote from the support. The support is preferably flexible and the opposite surface of the support is divided into individual, juxtaposed cylindrical segments with each land being associated with a single respective segment. The outer layer of each semi-conductor body is covered with a layer of contact material electrically connected to that contact strip which is electrically connected to the outer layer, and the notched surface is covered with an electrically insulating protective layer which preferably is elastic.
