One aspect of the invention relates to a photovoltaic component (10) comprising a set of layers suitable for the production of a photovoltaic device, of which at least a first layer (101) is made from a conductive material in order to form a rear electric contact, a second layer (102) is made from a material that is absorbent in the solar spectrum, and a third layer (106) is made from a transparent conductive material in order to form a front electric contact. The component also comprises an electrically insulating layer (103) disposed between the rear electric contact and the front electric contact, said layer being discontinuous such that the layers of the layer assembly can be stacked in one or more areas (100) in order to form a photovoltaic active zone in each of these areas. The component further comprises a layer (104) of conductive material, which is in electric contact with the aforementioned third layer of transparent conductive material and which is structured to form a peripheral electric contact for each of the photovoltaic micro-cells.
