Abstract

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection arrangement for a solar cell assembly (SCA) is suitable for the use as a component of orbiting solar generators. The SCA is constructed of a cover glass provided with a conductive vapor deposit, a bonding layer and a solar cell. At least a portion of a side face of the SCA is provided with a conductive layer which conductively connects the conductive layer on the cover glass and the solar cell.
