Abstract
A photovoltaic (PV) device comprises at least one PV lamp that includes at least one solar cell chip that generates an electrical current upon exposure to light, and an epoxy lens that encapsulates the solar cell chip, the epoxy lens concentrating incident light onto the solar cell chip. A method of manufacturing a PV device that includes at least one PV lamp comprises fabricating at least one solar cell chip that generates an electrical current upon exposure to light, and forming an epoxy lens that encapsulates the solar cell chip, the epoxy lens concentrating incident light onto the solar cell chip, to thereby form the PV lamp.
