摘要： A photovoltaic module for a satellite solar generator, and a flexible satellite solar generator are disclosed including a module having a printed circuit board comprising a substrate made of an insulating material and conductive traces, at least two chains of photovoltaic cells mounted on the face of the substrate supporting the electrically conductive traces and which are connected to the traces such that the traces establish an electrical connection between the chains of cells, and a protective layer that is optically transparent within a range of wavelengths corresponding to the cells' range of photovoltaic conversion, the layer being attached to the printed circuit board so as to cover at least all of the photovoltaic cells and all of the electrically conductive traces of the printed circuit board.

摘要： A test device for testing a solar generator of a satellite or solar drone, the solar generator includes an array of solar cells, each junction being capable of converting photons of a respective wavelength band into electric current, the test device includes: an array of light sources including at least one row of light sources, wherein each light source emits light in each of the electrical conversion wavelength bands of the junction(s) of the solar cells, and a control unit for the array of light sources, and capable of controlling the turning on and off of each of the light sources of the array individually, wherein the array of light sources selectively illuminates each solar cell of the solar generator by turning on one or more light sources of the array, with the solar cell receiving an irradiance that is greater than at least 130W/m2.
