A photovoltaic module for a satellite solar generator, and a flexible satellite solar generator are disclosed including a module having a printed circuit board comprising a substrate made of an insulating material and conductive traces, at least two chains of photovoltaic cells mounted on the face of the substrate supporting the electrically conductive traces and which are connected to the traces such that the traces establish an electrical connection between the chains of cells, and a protective layer that is optically transparent within a range of wavelengths corresponding to the cells' range of photovoltaic conversion, the layer being attached to the printed circuit board so as to cover at least all of the photovoltaic cells and all of the electrically conductive traces of the printed circuit board.
