NOVELTY - The photovoltaic array comprises a first photovoltaic module comprising first and second lateral edges, a set of linearly arranged features extending from the lateral edge and an electrical element located on the surface of the first photovoltaic module, and a second photovoltaic module disposed parallel to the first photovoltaic module. The second photovoltaic module comprises first and second lateral edges, a set of linearly arranged features extending from that lateral edge, and an electrical element on the surface of the second photovoltaic module.    USE - Photovoltaic array.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic array has improved aesthetic appearance, and can be deposited on the roof without penetrations of the roof deck, and contains a cover thus providing economical protection for electrical connections systems from the environment.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The photovoltaic array comprises a first photovoltaic module comprising first and second lateral edges, a set of linearly arranged features extending from the lateral edge and an electrical element located on the surface of the first photovoltaic module, and a second photovoltaic module disposed parallel to the first photovoltaic module. The second photovoltaic module comprises first and second lateral edges, a set of linearly arranged features extending from that lateral edge, and an electrical element on the surface of the second photovoltaic module. The lateral edge of the second photovoltaic module is laterally aligned with the lateral edge of the first photovoltaic module. A lateral distance between the electrical element and the lateral edge is the same in the first photovoltaic module as in the second photovoltaic module. The linearly-arranged features of the second photovoltaic module are laterally offset with respect to the linearly-arranged features of the first photovoltaic module. The electrical element of the second photovoltaic module is laterally aligned with the electrical element of the first photovoltaic module. The linearly arranged features include photovoltaic elements and geometrical shapes formed in the photovoltaic modules. The lateral offset distance between the linearly-arranged features of the second photovoltaic module and the linearly-arranged features of the first photovoltaic module is the same as the difference between the lateral distance from the electrical element to the center of the linearly-arranged feature closest to the lateral edge in the first photovoltaic module and the lateral distance from the electrical element to the center of the linearly-arranged feature closest to the lateral edge in the second photovoltaic module. The first and second photovoltaic modules are arrayed in a racked configuration. The photovoltaic array further comprises a cover disposed over the electrical elements of the first photovoltaic module and the second photovoltaic module. The first and second photovoltaic modules include photovoltaic roofing elements (1110) each comprising a roofing substrate having a receptor zone. The photovoltaic element is disposed in each receptor zone. The photovoltaic roofing elements are photovoltaic roofing modules each comprise a headlap portion. The photovoltaic array is disposed on a roof. The second lateral edge is positioned opposite to first lateral edge. The first lateral edge of the second photovoltaic module is oriented facing the same direction as the first lateral edge of the first photovoltaic module, and the second lateral edge of the second photovoltaic module is oriented facing the same direction as the second lateral edge of the first photovoltaic module. The lateral distance between the electrical element and the center of the linearly-arranged feature closest to the first lateral edge is different in the first photovoltaic module than in the second. A sum of the distance between the electrical element of the first photovoltaic module and the first lateral edge of the first photovoltaic module and the distance between the electrical element of the second photovoltaic module and the second lateral edge of the second photovoltaic module is the same as the lateral offset distance between the linearly-arranged features of the first photovoltaic module and the linearly-arranged features of the second photovoltaic module. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a kit comprising a first photovoltaic module.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic view of an array of photovoltaic roofing elements.
