Abstract

Photovoltaic device comprising a photovoltaic generator comprising a number of photovoltaic cells, characterized in that it comprises at least one switch with a control device comprising a control capacitor (Ccde) and a control resistor (Rcde), linked to the switch so as to slow down the control of the opening of the switch, to allow at least one cell of the photovoltaic generator to switch from a short-circuit operating mode to an open-circuit mode, or vice versa.
