1. A solar panel comprising:
a solar cell assembly formed of at least two solar cells arranged next to one another, the cells each having a solar-facing surface, the cells having a gap area between them and patterned with busbars on their solar-facing surface; the solar-facing surface having active regions and inactive regions, the inactive regions including areas of the cells patterned with busbars, gaps areas between adjacent cells and gaps surrounding cells, and the active regions including areas of the cells not patterned with busbars or constituting gaps between adjacent cells; the solar-facing surface covered by a layer of relatively transparent material having an inner side and an outer side, the inner side disposed adjacent to the solar facing surface of the assembly and the outer side defining an outer surface of the panel; and at least one optical member disposed on the outer side of the layer, the at least one optical member configured to substantially cover at least a portion of the inactive regions of the solar-facing surface and to deflect solar radiation impinging upon the optical member away from the inactive regions and onto the active regions of the solar-facing surface of the cell. |
