Abstract: A solar photovoltaic module comprises a generator body and a support body, and can be repaired in place after installation on a roof by removing and replacing the solar panel laminate from the generator body of the solar module. The support body of the solar module comprises an elongated rail defining an upper tabletop onto which a fastener may be affixed and a lower tabletop to receive the generator body. The solar panel laminate of the generator body is retained by a frame comprising a horizontal front frame element having a hook to engage a support body of another solar module.

Abstract: A solar shingle roofing kit comprises a plurality of crystalline solar panel modules, a central connector for adjoining adjacent solar modules, a starting connector to join a solar module to an eaves or a deck of a roof; left and right closures to join solar modules to the rake edges of a roof or to other kinds of commercial shingles or roof tiles, and a plurality of clamps to fasten the forgoing elements to the deck of a roof. The solar shingle roofing kit allows solar modules to be installed interchangeably with metal roof shingles. The solar shingle roofing kit allows an individual solar module to be removed and replaced without removing neighbouring modules or shingles in the event that a solar module fails.
