Photovoltaic cell and modules and method for their preparation and tissue for same

The invention relates to a photovoltaic cell and a method for the production thereof with a photoelectrically active surface element and at least one conductor track arrangement on at least one surface side of the surface element. According to the invention, it is provided that an open fabric, which is woven from electrically conductive threads and transparent, electrically non-conductive threads, is applied to form the strip conductor arrangement on the at least one surface side of the photoelectrically active surface element, wherein the open fabric is free from a flat surface Coating is.
