ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic device comprising a polycrystalline base having an electrically conductive grid affixed to the surface of the device to which illumination is to be applied, said grid effecting a rectifying junction with the base and at the same time functioning as a current carrying contact, said grid being arranged so that substantially all of the individual crystallites are contacted at least once thereby, while at the same time maintaining the coverage of the base by said grid to a minimum.
