ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for reducing the risk of primary and secondary electrostatic discharges occurring in particular in the solar generators of spacecraft. A solar energy concentrator device for spacecraft includes a reflector for reflecting solar radiation onto a photovoltaic cell for converting solar energy into electrical energy and a heat transfer arrangement for transporting to a cold area heat energy stored by the cell following reception of solar radiation. One particular application of the device is to solar panels for satellites.
