PANEL EQUIPPED WITH A PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE

Abstract

The invention relates to a panel equipped with a photovoltaic device consisting of an even number of columns of photovoltaic modules, the columns being aligned substantially parallel to a longitudinal edge of the panel, each column comprising an electrical pole at each of its ends, the polarity of an electrical pole at one end being inverse to that of the electrical pole at the other end, the poles of two adjacent columns being of inverse polarity, the electrical pole being in the form of a male connector when it is of one polarity and in the form of a female connector when it is of inverse polarity and the male and female connectors being arranged so that they fit together when the lower transverse edge of an upper panel comes over the upper transverse edge of a lower panel.The invention also relates to an assembly of panels according to the invention, to an electrical device suitable for connection to a converter comprising an assembly according to the invention and to a method of electrically connecting, to a converter, the panels constituting an assembly according to the invention.
