Abstract: In a solar generator having several solar cells, which are mounted on a substrate so as to be spaced apart from each other, and are at least covered by protective layers on the side facing away from the substrate, conductive layers being deposited on the protective layers, and at least one gap being present between each solar cell and the solar cells adjacent to it, and at least a part of the longitudinal extension of at least one of the gaps per solar cell being filled up with a conductive adhesive between the adjacent solar cells, from the substrate to the conductive layers.

Abstract: An electrical conductor for a spacecraft solar generator with at least one solar module, wherein the electrical conductor is made of an alloy containing gold and traces of at least one of silver, palladium or copper and which can be used as a solar cell connector. The electrical conductor advantageously cannot be oxidized by atomic oxygen, has a high hardness and elasticity and can thus withstand high thermal stresses. Furthermore, the electrical conductor can be processed by resistance welding without damaging the cell.
