    Abstract: A thin-film monolithically integrated solar module 100a comprising a thin-film solar cell 104, having at least one solar diode, on a transparent substrate 102, a thin-film energy storage device 106, and an electronic controller 108 comprising at least one thin-film transistor 110 above the thin-film energy storage device 106, wherein the electronic controller 108 is electrically connected to the thin-film solar cell 104 and the thin-film energy storage device 106 by vias 148. The thin-film solar cell 104 may comprise a transparent front-side electrode 120, a photovoltaic layer 122 and a back-side electrode 124. The module may also comprise a first dielectric layer 128. The energy storage device 106 may comprise a lower electrode 130, an active energy storage layer 132, and an upper electrode 134. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing the above described device.
