Abstract
This solar panel includes a structure in contact with an ambient environment and at least two photovoltaic cells each defining a lateral contact face and including a base element, a grid of electric conductors and a protective element made from transparent material, the grid including at least one conductive wire extending along the lateral contact face. The two cells are arranged on the structure such that at least part of each of the lateral contact faces is arranged regarding the other part while forming a panel surface and such that the shortest path passing through the ambient environment between the opposite parts of the lateral faces of the two cells is equal to at least about 20 mm.
