NOVELTY - A solar cell comprises at least one collector lens bars, where each of which extend on sides of front contacts (40) and positioned over a respective active area of active areas in such a position as to guide light onto the active areas, and a protective layer (80) covering the collector lens bars.    USE - As a solar cell (claimed) used for conversion of sunlight into electricity.    ADVANTAGE - The solar cell has enhanced efficiency; has lens that capture and redirect light onto the active area of the solar cell, without the need for an add-on unit, thus reduces cost of manufacturing process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A solar cell comprises at least one collector lens bars, where each of which extend on sides of front contacts (40) and positioned over a respective active area of active areas in such a position as to guide light onto the active areas, and a protective layer (80) covering the collector lens bars; or several active regions (40a) formed from a doped semiconductor material, several front contacts positioned on sides of the active regions, several collector lens bars each of which run parallel to the front contacts and positioned along an entire or substantially an entire length of the active regions between the front contacts, and a protective layer covering the collector lens bars; further comprises a planarized layer provided between the collector lens bars and the front contacts and active regions, where the collector lens bars contact one another and completely cover the planarized layer over at least the active regions and adjacent front contacts of the front contacts; and an antireflective coating beneath of the collector lens bars. The protective layer is an anti-reflective coating; or silica and silicon nitride (SiNx). The collector lens bars are composed of polymer material selected from photoresist, polyimide and benzocyclobutene. The collector lens bars are one of a triangular, a prism and sphere shape. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for fabricating a solar cell, involving forming active regions on a semiconductor material; forming front metal contacts on the semiconductor material; forming polymer lens bars over the active regions and between the front metal contacts by deposition and reflow processes; and depositing a protective layer over the polymer lens bars.
