Abstract: A photovoltaic module generates electrical power when installed on a roof. The module is constructed as a laminated sandwich having a transparent protective upper layer adhered to a photovoltaic layer. The photovoltaic layer is adhered to the top of a rigid layer, preferably formed from a fiber reinforced plastic. A wire support tray assembly is affixed to an edge of the photovoltaic module, the wire support tray assembly includes a base portion and a cover portion. The base portion has at least one base portion flange configured to lock with least one corresponding cover portion flange. The base portion has a longitudinally-extending slot configured to couple with the edge of the photovoltaic module. Preferably the wire tray assembly holds the module wiring and occludes it from view. Preferably, the cover portion is concave to shelter the wiring from inclement weather.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module generates electrical power when installed on a roof. The module is constructed as a laminated sandwich having a transparent protective upper layer adhered to a photovoltaic layer. The photovoltaic layer is adhered to the top of a rigid layer, preferably formed from a fiber reinforced plastic. A tapered edge seal is disposed about the peripheral outer edge of the module, so that water and debris easily run off. Preferably, the tapered edge seal is disposed adjacent the photovoltaic layer, and above the rigid substrate layer. The tapered edge seal is thinner at the outer peripheral portion thereof than at a portion thereof adjacent the photovoltaic layer.
