  • Patent number: 8748729
    Abstract: The subject matter of this present invention is a rollable photovoltaic composite, used in particular for solar protection, which includes at least one flexible photovoltaic panel and at least one textile panel, on the outside face of which is laminated the said photovoltaic panel by means of a first connecting layer, characterized in that, in the transverse direction to that in which it is to be rolled, and at any level of the photovoltaic panel, it has a thickness that is more-or-less constant, including one or more zones of reduced thickness, the said thickness corresponding to the thickness of the textile panel possibly covered with a film on its inside face, and in that the width is no more than 8 centimeters, so as to eliminate the formation of folds during rolling or in the deployed position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8704079
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is a photovoltaic windable composite comprising at least one photovoltaic cell, a textile panel and a bond layer providing a bonding between said at least one photovoltaic cell and said textile panel. Typically, the exterior side of the textile panel comprises at least two electrically conductive areas separated by a non electrically conductive area, and the bond layer comprises at least two electrically conductive areas emerging on the exterior and interior sides of said bond layer and separated by a non conductive area. Both conductive areas of the bond layer are arranged between the photovoltaic cell and the superior side of the textile panel in order that the positive and negative poles of said photovoltaic cell are in electrically conductive connection with both conductive areas of the textile panel.
