Claim Text:
1. A silicon solar cell comprising: a carrier plate; a set of first laminar contacts on top of the carrier plate; a plurality of silicon slices located on top of the first laminar contacts, wherein each first laminar contact of the set of first laminar contacts is in direct spatial laminar contact with a pair of silicon slices; a set of second laminar contacts on top of the silicon slices, wherein each second laminar contact of the set of second laminar contacts is in direct spatial laminar contact with two adjacent silicon slices of the plurality of silicon slices; a coating layer on top of the silicon slices where the second laminar contacts are not located; and a plurality of insulating regions, each insulating region disposed between an adjacent pair of the silicon slices, the insulating regions comprising: wherein the first insulating regions and the second insulating regions are spatially staggered in relation to one another wherein the set of first laminar contacts is displaced relative to the set of second laminar contacts by an extension length of a silicon slice in a displacement direction.
