NOVELTY - Photovoltaic module (100) to generate electricity from solar energy comprises base substrate (102); connectors attached to substrate, where connecting spaces are formed between adjacent connectors; at least one photovoltaic strip (104) arranged in the spaces on substrate; optical vees (106) to concentrate solar energy on the strips, and are connected to substrate through connectors; and transparent member (108) positioned on optical vees. The optical vees comprises a reflective layer/surface, such that rays incident on the reflective layer/surface are reflected towards the strips.    USE - As photovoltaic module for generating electricity from solar energy (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus is photovoltaic module that is easy and quick to manufacture; and has lower cost as compared to conventional low concentrator photovoltaic modules. The connectors provide a firm connection between the optical vees and the base substrate. The optical vees are slided through the connectors. This makes the process of connecting the optical vees with the base substrate easy and quick, thus making it suitable for mass manufacturing. The method for fabricating the photovoltaic module involves the use of plastic and aluminum. This makes the photovoltaic module cheaper and light-weight compared to conventional photovoltaic modules. The photovoltaic module is made of photovoltaic strips, which are arranged with spaces in between two adjacent optical vees, thus the photovoltaic module requires lesser amount of semiconductor material to produce the same output, as compared to conventional photovoltaic modules.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Photovoltaic module (100) for generating electricity from solar energy comprises a base substrate (102); connectors attached to the substrate, where connecting spaces are formed between adjacent connectors; at least one photovoltaic strips (104) arranged in the spaces over the substrate; optical vees (106) for concentrating solar energy over the photovoltaic strips, and are connected to the substrate through connectors; and transparent member (108) positioned over the optical vees. The optical vees comprises a reflective layer/surface, such that rays incident on the reflective layer/surface are reflected towards the strips. The substrate, connectors, strips, optical vees and transparent member form apparatus in an integrated manner. The photovoltaic strips are connected through conductors in a predefined manner. The optical vees comprise a polymeric material. The reflective layer or surface comprises a reflective material. The reflective layer or surface comprises a sandwiched foil comprising a foil of a reflective material between two sheets. The optical vees further comprise holes for connecting the optical vees to the substrate through the connectors. The optical vees are hollow and solid. The optical vees are made of a material. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a system for manufacturing the photovoltaic module, comprising: a snap-fit attaching unit for attaching connectors to the substrate; a strip-arranger for arranging photovoltaic strips in the connecting spaces over the substrate, where the photovoltaic strips are capable of converting solar energy into electrical energy; a stringer for connecting the photovoltaic strips through conductors in a predefined manner; an optical-vee placer for connecting optical vees to the substrate through the connectors; and positioning unit for positioning transparent member over the optical vees.
