1. A translucent photovoltaic product comprising:
a first section and a second section cut from respective sections of a stack of layers deposited on a carrier substrate, the stack comprising at least: a first electrode layer, a photovoltaic layer and a second electrode layer;
a first photovoltaic device formed with the first section on a first further substrate portion; and
a second photovoltaic device formed with the second section on a second further substrate portion,
wherein the first section and the second section have a substantially complementary comb-shape, the first section comprising first parallel strips having a width W and a space of width S between subsequent ones of the first parallel strips, the second section comprising second parallel strips also having a width W and a space of width S between subsequent ones of the second parallel strips, wherein a ratio (S−W)/W is at most 0.2, and
wherein the first photovoltaic device is arranged in a first plane and the second photovoltaic device is arranged in a second plane parallel to and in front of the first plane.
