1. A photovoltaic device comprising:
- at least one semiconductor layer;
front and back electrodes on opposite sides of said at least one semiconductor layer; and
at least one surface protection layer adjacent to the front electrode light incident side of the device, wherein granules of a material different from that of said surface protection layer are disposed in said at least one surface protection layer, wherein said granules are distributed at a lower density at the light incident surface side and at a higher density at the opposite side in the thickness direction.
