Abstract: The present invention provides a panel equipped with a photovoltaic device including an even number of columns of photovoltaic modules, the columns being aligned essentially parallel to a longitudinal edge of the panel. Each column includes an electrical pole on each of extremity. The polarity of an electrical pole of one extremity being the inverse of that of the electrical pole of the other extremity, 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 the inverse polarity. The male connectors and female connectors arranged so that they interlock with one another when the lower transverse edge of an upper panel overlaps the upper transverse edge of a lower panel. The present invention further provides an assembly of panels, an electrical device connected to a converter including an assembly and a method for the electrical connection to a converter of the panels of the assembly.

Abstract: A lamination device for laminating a photovoltaic stack on a profiled metallic panel, the lamination device including a lid covered on its underside with an upper flexible pressure membrane so as to form an airtight upper chamber that may be ventilated or evacuated and/or including an upper heating device whose bottom side has a crenellated profile, the device also including a chassis covered on its top with a lower flexible pressure membrane so as to form an airtight lower chamber that may be ventilated or evacuated and/or including a lower heating device whose upper side has a cross-section which differs from the crenellated profile of the bottom side of the upper heating device, wherein the lid is capable of sealably laying on the chassis so that the cavity thus formed is airtight and may be ventilated or evacuated. A corresponding process is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a panel. The panel includes an upper transverse edge having an upper overlap area intended to be covered by an adjacent panel and a lower transverse edge having a lower overlap area intended to covered by an adjacent panel. The panel also includes a first longitudinal edge having a first longitudinal rib, a central part, extending from the first longitudinal rib, having a recess located in the upper overlap area which has an opening for flush mounting an electrical junction box and a perforation located in the lower overlap area for passing through an electrical connector. The panel further includes a second longitudinal edge extending from the central part and having a second longitudinal rib. The first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib have shapes enabling them to overlap.

Abstract: The present invention provides a building exterior cladding panel. The panel includes an upper overlap area, a lower overlap area, and a central part covered by at least one photovoltaic module. A perforation is located in the lower overlap area and traversed by an electrical cable connecting one of two electrical poles of the photovoltaic module to an electrical plug located on the reverse side of the panel in the lower overlap area. An opening is located in the upper overlap area, into which is inserted an electrical junction box connected to another electrical pole of the photovoltaic module by an electrical cable. The junction box includes: a base, a lateral wall surrounding the base and extending perpendicular to it, the lateral wall includes, on its external surface, a peripheral shoulder to hold the box in place in the opening, a cable lead, situated in the part of the junction box located above the peripheral shoulder to connect to the electrical junction box to the other electrical pole of the photovoltaic module, an internal cavity delimited by the base and the wall, including an electrical terminal with an axis perpendicular to the base and a movable electrical switch. The invention further provides an associated electrical junction box.
