Abstract
The invention relates to a solar panel comprising: ⋅ a transparent plate. ⋅ back-contacted solar cells adhered to the transparent plate. ⋅ a back-contact foil () electrically and mechanically connected to the solar cells, the back-contact foil equipped with a metallisation pattern facing the solar cells, ⋅ a laminate attached to the back-contact foil. characterized in that ⋅ the back-contact foil shows one or more flaps (), the end of the flaps more removed from the transparent plate than from the laminate. The back-contact foil is embedded in encapsulant. By adding flaps to the back-contact foil, it is possible to have the end of the flaps extending out of the encapsulant. This enables, for example, the use of connectors for making electric contact to the end of the flaps.
