  • Patent number: 8756880
    Abstract: A photovoltaic module assembly includes a photovoltaic module and a base layer. The photovoltaic module has a bottom side, a top side, a main body, and a peripheral edge strip. The peripheral edge strip includes a plurality of apertures formed therethrough. The base layer is disposed adjacent the bottom side of the photovoltaic module. The base layer has an underlying portion and a flap portion. The flap portion is folded over the peripheral edge strip of the photovoltaic module, and is disposed adjacent the top side of the photovoltaic module. The flap portion is attached to the underlying portion of the base layer through the plurality of apertures in the peripheral edge strip. The photovoltaic module is thereby secured to the base layer.

  • Patent number: 8314324
    Abstract: Flexible laminated thin film photovoltaic systems that include flexible support structures having a upper surface and a lower surface, at least one thin film photovoltaic module laminated to the upper surface of the flexible support structure, the at least one thin film photovoltaic module including lead wires and a flexible wiring conduit system attached to the lower side of the flexible support structure though which the lead wires of the at least one thin film photovoltaic module are routed. The peripheral edges of the thin film photovoltaic modules and adjacent surrounding portions of the flexible support structure are laminated with flexible strip members which prevent the peripheral edges of the thin film photovoltaic modules from peeling off the flexible support structure.
