The invention relates to a solar panel backed by a laminate with a coefficient of thermal expansion closely matching that of soda-lime glass. Optionally, the solar panel comprises a soda-lime glass plate, a low CTE epoxy resin with a CTE of less than 50 ppm/K at room temperature, an upper layer and a lower layer each comprising two woven E-glass fibres and 33% resin weight, the E-glass fibres having an estimated Young's modulus in the x-direction and y-direction for a woven ply with x and y aligned in the two fibre directions of 26.3 GPa for each ply, and an estimated CTE of 13.3 ppm/K, having a thickness of between 0.7 and 1.4 times the thickness of the central layer, and a central layer comprising woven carbon fibres, 42% resin weight, and having an estimated Exx and Eyy of 62.8 GPa, as well as an estimated CTE of 1 ppm/K.
