TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENERGY - Preferred Components: The metal backing is laminated to the prelaminate. The edges of the metal backing are folded over the edges of the corrugate back to affix the corrugate backing of metal backing. The module includes flexible backing interposed between the metal backing and prelaminate in laminate (128). The corrugated backing and metal backing are integral. The edge of the corrugated backing are folded on edges of the prelaminate to affix the corrugated backing to metal backing. The junction box is positioned inside trough in the corrugate.Preferred Methods: The affixing includes gluing the flexible module to backing, or laminating flexible photovoltaic module to rigid backing. The affixing of flexible photovoltaic module to the rigid backing includes integrally affixing the module to the backing. The structuring of metal backing includes bending the rigid backed photovoltaic module to create a curve, corrugating rigid backed photovoltaic module and affixing the junction box under flat section of corrugated rigid backed photovoltaic module, affixing the rigid backed photovoltaic module and affixing junction box under flat section of corrugated rigid backed photovoltaic module, and affixing rigid backed photovoltaic module to corrugate. The method includes adding supports in hollow portion of curve, connecting junction box to photovoltaic module, and locating junction box between supports in the hollow portion of the curve. The affixing of rigid backed photovoltaic module to the corrugate includes folding edges of corrugate and photovoltaic module on the edges of the other one of the corrugate and photovoltaic module. The method includes connecting junction box to photovoltaic module, and locating the junction box in trough of the corrugate. The structuring of metal backing includes bending the rigid backed photovoltaic module to create standing seams beneath the plane of flexible photovoltaic module. The method includes connecting junction box to the photovoltaic module and locating junction box between the two of the standing seams.
