Patent ID: 8367456

Claim:
A method for the production of a tile comprising a photovoltaic cell, characterized in that it comprises in succession the steps of: producing a ceramic base body ( 2 ) having one or more through holes ( 2 c ) and a water absorption equal to or less than 0.5 wt %, said step comprising: an operation of pressing, in which an atomized ceramic powder with a humidity of between 3 wt % and 6 wt % is subjected to an operation of pressing at a pressure of between 35 and 60 MPa, an operation of drying, and an operation of baking at a maximum temperature of between 1100 and 1250° C.; and directly depositing on a surface ( 2 a ) of said ceramic base body ( 2 ): an electro-conductive layer ( 6 ) made of Ag or Ag—Al; a plurality of active layers ( 7 ); and a layer of electro-conductive material with grid-like structure ( 9 ); said plurality of active layers ( 7 ) comprising in succession an n-type layer ( 11 ), a photo-active layer ( 12 ) and a p-type layer ( 13 ); housing in said hole ( 2 c ) a conductive connector ( 5 ) in such a way that said conductive connector ( 5 ) is in electrical contact with said electro-conductive layer ( 6 ); and applying an electrical and/or electronic device ( 4 ) on a surface ( 2 b ) of said ceramic base body ( 2 ), opposite to said surface ( 2 a ); said electrical and/or electronic device ( 4 ) being set in electrical contact with said conductive connector ( 5 ).
