A new type of the integrated a-Si: H photovoltaic cell module has been developed. The optimization of the cell parameters and dimensions were experimentally determined. The best conversion efficiency was 3.2%. The output power of the p-i-n cell was nearly equal to or larger than that of a crystal Si cell in fluorescent lighting.
