Abstract

See full text

A solar generator comprises a flexible support, an array of solar cells, electrical transfer conductors, blocking diodes, the solar cells being formed along different transverse strings, the solar cells situated in a same string being electrically connected in series, each string comprising two opposite ends, respectively of positive polarity and of negative polarity. The positive polarity end of each string of solar cells is individually connected to a respective blocking diode via an electrical transfer conductor dedicated to the string, the electrical transfer conductors dedicated to the different strings being independent of one another, the blocking diodes being located at the proximal end of the solar generator, outside of the array of solar cells.
