ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a photovoltaic panel that includes elementary photovoltaic cells in series and in parallel and intended for charging a low-voltage electrical energy accumulator via a voltage converter includes wiring a minimum number of elementary cells in series between the two terminals of the photovoltaic panel. The minimum number is established such that, under a given illumination, the knee voltage of the photovoltaic panel is greater than the threshold voltage of operation of the converter. The invention also relates to a device for charging a low-voltage accumulator via a converter comprising a photovoltaic panel obtained by this method.
