Abstract

The photovoltaic cells (6) are retained and protected by a transparent elastomer layer (12) extruded when hot prior to vulcanization and applied against the cells with a slight pressure to cause it to go into the spaces between cells, and vulcanized by heating, for example at 110.degree. C. or at 180.degree. C., thanks to the presence of incorporated peroxides. Application in the production of electricity from solar energy.
