NOVELTY - The assembly comprises a photovoltaic sheathing element capable of affixing on a building structure. The sheathing element includes a photovoltaic cell assembly, a body portion attached to portions of the photovoltaic cell assembly, a first connector assembly, and a second connector assembly. The first and second connector assemblies are disposed on opposing sides of the sheathing element, and are capable of directly or indirectly electrically connecting the photovoltaic cell assembly to two adjoining devices that are affixed to the building structure.    USE - The assembly including a photovoltaic sheathing element such as a photovoltaic shingle is useful in a building structure.    ADVANTAGE - The assembly exhibits high durability and moisture resistance, protects the building structure from mechanical abuse, and can be easily and economically installed in the building structure.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The assembly comprises a photovoltaic sheathing element capable of affixing on a building structure. The sheathing element includes a photovoltaic cell assembly, a body portion attached to portions of the photovoltaic cell assembly, a first connector assembly, and a second connector assembly. The first and second connector assemblies are disposed on opposing sides of the sheathing element, and are capable of directly or indirectly electrically connecting the photovoltaic cell assembly to two adjoining devices that are affixed to the building structure. One of the connector assemblies includes a flexible portion, and connector pockets (1200) disposed in the body portion, where the pockets are capable of receiving a portion of the connector assembly. The assembly further includes a cover plate that protects portions of the connector pocket and portions of the connector assembly, and a sealing material disposed in or about the connector pockets, which are capable of protecting the portions of the connector assembly. The cover plate positions and maintains a location of the electrical connector assembly. The first connector assembly and/or the second connector assembly is: mechanically connected and bonded to the photovoltaic cell assembly; and a separate component that comprises two opposing connector portions and is interconnected by the flexible portion. The photovoltaic sheathing element includes a connector mating component electrically connected to the photovoltaic cell assembly. A flexible connecting element has an ability to bend such that the two opposing connector portions move a distance equal to an interface length of either of the connector assemblies. The connector pocket is a bridging portion, which comprises: a first feature capable of locating and/or securing the connector assembly; a second feature capable of locating and securing the cover plate; and/or a structural portion that connects the photovoltaic cell assembly to the body portion of the photovoltaic sheathing element. The connector pockets disposed in the body portion are partially co-extensive with an outer edge of the body portion. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for installation of an assembly; and    (2) a photovoltaic sheathing element kit capable of affixing on a building structure.
