Abstract
A screen () is provided comprising at least a first and a second elongate guidance element () extending in a first direction (D) and a structured foil () with a front surface and a back surface, having a variable length (L) in a first direction (D) carried by the elongate guidance elements. The screen has slat shaped portions () and connection portions (') bridging the slat shaped portions. The slat shaped portions, which extend in a second direction (D) transverse to the first direction are provided with photovoltaic elements () that are connectable to external terminals for supply of electric energy. The slate shaped portions are slidably coupled with the guidance elements, to allow them to slide in said first direction along said guidance elements. The connection portions are configured to flex in a direction transverse to the first and the second direction, so as to allow the at least a first and a second slat shaped portion to shift relative to each other in said first direction.
