A system and method for magnetically attaching photovoltaic modules enabling enhanced redeployment comprises at least one photovoltaic module with a magnetic membrane disposed on an opposite surface to its light receptive side. The module is removeably attachable by the magnetic force of attraction between it and a magnetically receptive substrate. In one embodiment, an insert is applied between the module and the substrate to enhance performance. Inserts include insulative, metallic foils, fabrics, textiles, polymer films, polymer support mounts and air-seals such as silicon caulk. If the substrate is magnetically receptive, the photovoltaic module is applied directly therein. If the substrate is non-magnetic, a magnetically receptive sheet is applied to the substrate. The magnetically receptive sheet may be applied using a self adhesive. In another embodiment, a low surface energy tape is applied to the perimeter providing additional support and to keep elements such as wind and rain from infiltrating.
