NOVELTY - The method for producing a photovoltaic module comprising a set of solar cells in a structure of thin layers in which an opposite rear electrode, a photovoltaic layer (43) obtained by depositing components including metal precursors and an element consisting of selenium and sulfur and annealing it to convert the components into a semiconductor material, and a semiconductor layer to create a pn junction with the photovoltaic layer are successively formed, is claimed, where the metal precursors form a continuous layer on the rear electrode.    USE - The method is useful for producing a photovoltaic module (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method is capable of ensuring the electrical contact with good quality between a front electrode and the rear electrode of a solar cell without requiring additional step such as step of engraving, laser treatment or specific deposit thus producing the photovoltaic module in a simple and cost-effective manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The method for producing a photovoltaic module comprising a set of solar cells in a structure of thin layers in which an opposite rear electrode, a photovoltaic layer (43) obtained by depositing components including metal precursors and an element consisting of selenium and sulfur and annealing it to convert the components into a semiconductor material, and a semiconductor layer to create a pn junction with the photovoltaic layer are successively formed, is claimed, where the metal precursors form a continuous layer on the rear electrode, the element forms a layer having a discontinuity allowing to leave a zone (430) of the layer of metal precursors in a metal state on a level of the discontinuity. The layer of the element is deposited in a localized manner. The annealing is carried out at a temperature of 550 degrees C. The semiconductor layer has a discontinuity at the level of the zone. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a photovoltaic module.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a schematic sectional view of steps of a method for producing a photovoltaic module.
