Abstract

The invention pertains to a photovoltaic roofing panel comprising a carrier and a solar cell unit, the solar cell unit being divided into individual solar cells with at least two solar cells being connected in series, wherein at least one solar cell is connected in series to a non-adjacent solar cell. Preferably, each cell in n connection in series will supply essentially the same amount of current. More preferably, the invention pertains to photovoltaic roofing panel comprising a carrier and a solar cell unit, with the carrier having a recurrent profile with a recurrent pattern length l and a length of the profile k, with the length of the profile k being the length of the profile in the recurrent pattern length l, with the carrier being provided with a solar cell unit which perpendicular to the recurrent pattern length l is divided up into solar cells c.sub.1 . . . c.sub.n having a width w.sub.1 . . . w.sub.n, with the sum of w.sub.1 . . . w.sub.n being equal to the length of the profile k, and with at least one cell c.sub.1 . . . c.sub.n being connected in series with the corresponding cell c.sub.1 . . . c.sub.n of another recurrent profile. The invention further pertains to a flexible solar cell foil comprising a solar cell unit divided into individual solar cells with at least two solar cells being connected in series, wherein at least one solar cell is connected in series to a non-adjacent solar cell.
