Abstract
A solar panel includes a first photovoltaic cell, a second photovoltaic cell, and a flexible electrical connection structure which comprises an electrically conductive connector that electrically connects the first photovoltaic cell and the second photovoltaic cell in series along a connection direction. The electrically conductive connector does not extend from a first major surface of a flexible transparent insulating sheet through a thickness of the flexible transparent insulating sheet to a second major surface of the flexible transparent insulating sheet.
