Abstract
The invention relates to a support for at least one photovoltaic cell, comprising at least one block made of heat-conducting material with which said cell is in close thermal contact. According to the invention, this support comprises at least one tube the wall of which may be traversed by the heat, said tube being fastened to said block, in thermal contact therewith, and closed at its end to define a closed cavity inside which an evaporable and condensable fluid is enclosed. The invention is particularly applicable to a solar generator.
