Summary: | A flexible solar module is provided sufficient rigidity for use in construction, and comparable rigidity to a glass based solar module, by incorporation of a metal backing to the module, preferably in the laminated module. The rigidity of the construction is enhanced by the inclusion of a corrugation, either in the metal backing, or in a structure that is affixed to the backing. The resulting structure is a modular unit that has connection points and does not need to be connected to other modules to operate. A connection point is provided by an integrated junction box that allows for a simpler installation and the use of standard building techniques for the installation on a roof or wall. |
