The invention relates to a device for utilising solar energy with solar cells which have a supporting structure (11) and are electrically connected to one another and which also have an external connection for removing the electrical energy. A plurality of solar cells are parts of an edgeless solar cell laminate in which the solar cells are encapsulated side by side in a sheet-type or panel-type carrier. At least one side of the laminate which faces the sunlight is flat and transparent to light. The solar cell laminate lies in the supporting structure (11), which consists of two covering layers (8, 9) and a supporting foam layer (7) and which also forms a circumferential recessed edge. At the edge, the laminate is flush with the upper side of the supporting structure. The edge is of corrugated construction between two parallel edge sections in order to support the solar cell laminate on more highly placed sections and, together with the lower-lying sections, channels (10) serve to convey a coolant and receive energy-conveying means. <IMAGE> |
