NOVELTY - A photovoltaic module (100), comprises: an active layer (110) including a set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material; a top layer (108) disposed above the active layer, the top layer including a substantially transparent film; means for serially and redundantly interconnecting the strips of thin-film photovoltaic material together; and a bottom layer (112), the bottom layer including a conductive back-sheet (134) configured to form a current return path for the strips of thin-film photovoltaic material.    USE - A photovoltaic module for industrial application.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic module is efficient and low cost.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A photovoltaic module (100), comprises: an active layer (110) including a set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material that are arranged spaced apart from and substantially parallel to each other, each of the set of strips being continuous substantially the entire length of the photovoltaic module; a top layer (108) disposed above the active layer, the top layer including a substantially transparent film; means for serially and redundantly interconnecting the strips of thin-film photovoltaic material together; and a bottom layer (112) disposed below the active layer, the bottom layer including a conductive back-sheet (134) configured to form a current return path for the strips of thin-film photovoltaic material. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) a method of forming a longitudinally continuous photovoltaic module, comprising: arranging the set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material to be spaced apart from and substantially parallel to each other laminating the bottom layer to a first surface of the set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material, the bottom layer including a set of bottom layer conductive strips; laminating the top layer to a second surface of the set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material, the second surface opposite the first surface, the top layer including a set of top layer conductive strips; where laminating the bottom layer to the first surface and laminating the top layer to the second surface includes serially and redundantly interconnecting the set of strips of thin-film photovoltaic material together by connecting each one of the strips of thin-film photovoltaic material to a different one of the set of bottom layer conductive strips and a different one of the set of top layer conductive strips; and    (2) a computer-readable storage medium having stored on it, computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising: receiving data indicating an installation angle for a photovoltaic module at an installation site, the photovoltaic module including a set of plastically deformable reflector regions and a set of longitudinally continuous strips of thin-film photovoltaic material; receiving data indicating a direction the installation site faces; receiving data indicating a latitude of the installation site; receiving data indicating elastic and visco-elastic bend relaxation parameters for the photovoltaic module; and determining a shape for the set of plastically deformable reflector regions based on the received data.
