Abstract: La présente invention concerne un coupleur servant à monter les ensembles d'éléments en série mais pas de façon linéaire. Ce coupleur comporte des plaques en contact avec un collecteur de courant à l'extrémité d'un ensemble d'éléments, et des barres reliant les plaques. Etant donné qu'un courant passe par les barres et que la résistance électrique entre les montages série ne connaît pas de différence entre les différents éléments parallèles, le courant circule de façon uniforme dans l'ensemble des éléments. Etant donné que l'électricité peut être produite de façon uniforme par chaque élément, on arrive à une forte production d'électricité dans l'ensemble, et une durée de vue accrue du fait de l'élimination des concentrations de courant.
