NOVELTY - A photovoltaic module (10) comprises a photovoltaic cell assembly comprising photovoltaic cell(s) (12). The photovoltaic assembly has a positive conductor wire (13) and a negative conductor wire. A by-pass diode is at a junction between the positive output intersection and the negative output intersection to selectively electrically join the positive output cable (15) with the negative output cable (14), thus by-passing the photovoltaic cell assembly.    USE - A photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - Integrating the by-pass diode within the module avoids the use of an external junction box which requires sealing and involves additional thickness or bulk. The height of the module with junction is less than prior modules with junction boxes, allowing photovoltaic module to have a low profile relative to the plane of a solar module, allowing flush and nearly flush installation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A photovoltaic module (10) comprises a photovoltaic cell assembly comprising photovoltaic cell(s) (12). The photovoltaic assembly has a positive conductor wire (13) and a negative conductor wire. The positive conductor wire is electrically associated with a positive output electric cable (15) at a positive output intersection and the negative conductor wire is electrically associated with a negative output cable (14) at a negative output intersection. A by-pass diode is at a junction between the positive output intersection and the negative output intersection, and selectively electrically joins the positive output cable with the negative output cable, thus by-passing the photovoltaic cell assembly. The material encapsulates completely surrounding the photovoltaic cell assembly and the by-pass diode within a single integral unit, with the positive conductor wire. The negative conductor wire and the by-pass diode are completely within the integral unit and the positive output cable and negative output cable extending from inside the integral unit to outside the integral unit. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an array of photovoltaic modules comprising at least two photovoltaic modules.
