1. A ventilated solar panel system mounted on a roof of a building, comprising:
a plurality of joists arranged substantially normal to an upper ridge of the roof, and extending from said upper ridge to a lower region of the roof, and
a set of rectangular solar panels, arranged on and supported by said joists,
characterized by
a set of electrical fans, each fan being arranged in said lower region of the roof and being aligned with one of said joists, wherein each fan is configured to create a flow of air towards said ridge, and
wherein each joist, in an end facing one of said fans, is formed with a dividing edge configured to divide said flow of air into two sub-flows, a first sub-flow directed to a first side of said joist, and a second sub-flow directed to a second side of said joist, opposite to said first side.
