INCREASING THE DENSIFICATION OF SOLAR MODULES BY MAXIMIZED SUPERIMPOSED INTERCONNECTION

A photovoltaic device comprising an assembly of several strings of photovoltaic cells, each of the strings being formed by a plurality of cells aligned in a first direction y, the strings being aligned in a second direction x forming a non-zero angle with the first direction and typically orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the first direction, the assembly of cells including a first string laterally overlapped by a second chain of the plurality of strings, so that a peripheral portion of the second string covers a peripheral portion of the first string, the first string and the second string being electrically insulated via an insulating region interposed between the respective peripheral portions of the first string and of the second string.
