Abstract
This electrical connection assembly is used for a photovoltaic cell (4) having rear electrical contacts. The assembly comprises at least one spacer-plate (10) of electrically insulating material suitable for having the rear face of the cell bearing against a first side (116) thereof in a position in which the connection terminals (46, 48) of the cell (4) are in register with through orifices (120, 122) in the spacer-plate (10). The assembly also includes at least two ribbons (20) of electrically conductive material arranged on a second side of the spacer-plate (10), opposite from the first side (116), and provided with contact elements (210, 212) suitable for making electrical contact with the connection terminals (46, 48) of the cell (4) through the orifices (120, 122) in the spacer-plate. Electrical contact between the contact elements (210, 212) and the connection terminals (46, 48) is established without soldering, under the effect of a resilient force.
