Abstract[English]
A retractable and modular photovoltaic (PV) system (400) for transforming solar energy into electrical energy includes a first asymmetric PV module (410) including (i) a first part (410A) free of PV cells (112), and (ii) a second part (410B) including first plural PV cells (112) for generating the electrical energy; a first end junction box (464-1) electrically connected to a first end of the first plural PV cells (112); and a second end junction box (464-2) electrically connected to a second end of the first plural PV cells (112). The first asymmetric PV module (410) is made of a bendable material so that the first part (410A) bends relative to the second part (410B) along a boundary (412) when the first asymmetric PV module is retracted.[French]
Un système photovoltaïque (PV) rétractable et modulaire (400) pour transformer l'énergie solaire en énergie électrique comprend un premier module PV asymétrique (410) comprenant (i) une première partie (410A) exempte de cellules PV (112), et (ii) une seconde partie (410B) comprenant une première pluralité de cellules PV (112) servant à générer l'énergie électrique ; une première boîte de jonction d'extrémité (464-1) connectée électriquement à une première extrémité de la première pluralité de cellules PV (112) ; et une seconde boîte de jonction d'extrémité (464-2) connectée électriquement à une seconde extrémité de la première pluralité de cellules PV (112). Le premier module PV asymétrique (410) est constitué d'un matériau pliable de telle sorte que la première partie (410A) se plie par rapport à la seconde partie (410B) le long d'une limite (412) lorsque le premier module PV asymétrique est rétracté.
