INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC ROOFING SYSTEM

摘要

A combination roofing panel and solar module includes a flexible membrane sheet (140), such as a single-ply membrane sheet, and a plurality of elongat ed solar or photovoltaic modules (110) arranged side-by-side, end-to-end, or adjacent each other. The modules are adhered to the flexible membrane, and t he edges of the modules having electrical connectors or electrodes (170) are arranged to face each other or be aligned with each other. The electrical connectors may be connected by a solder connection to module electrodes through apertures in a bottom surface of the flexible membrane and are connected in series.
