A solar panel (2) includes a flexible polymeric support element (4) and a plurality of photovoltaic cells (6) supported by the support element. At least some of the photovoltaic cells (6) are spaced apart such that the flexible support element provides a hinge (10) between the spaced apart photovoltaic cells. A plurality of bypass diodes (14) are connected in parallel with the cells (6), so that if one of the cells ceases to operate, electrical current generated by the other cells is able to bypass the inoperative cell. |
