A photovoltaic panel (PV panel) includes a plurality of rigid solar or photovoltaic modules attached to a flexible membrane. The PV modules are arranged adjacent to each other, e.g., side-by-side or end-to-end, and are spaced apart from each other so as to allow each PV module to be folded over an adjacent PV module. The PV modules have wires that are arranged so as to provide connection to wires of the adjacent PV modules with wires. The wires extending between adjacent PV modules have sufficient length or slack so as to allow the modules to be folded over each other. The PV panel may include a plurality of spacers between the PV modules and the membrane to provide gaps. The gaps aid in cooling of the PV modules during operation.
