Abstract
The photovoltaic module includes multiple cell sheets arranged in an array including multiple rows and multiple columns, where each of the multiple rows of cell sheets is arranged at intervals along a first direction, each of the multiple columns of cell sheets is arranged at intervals along a second direction, and each of the multiple cell sheets has a first surface and a second surface. The photovoltaic module further includes a first flexible cover layer located on a side of the first surface of each of the multiple cell sheets, and a second flexible cover layer located on a side of the second surface of each of the multiple cell sheets. The photovoltaic module is configured to be folded along a gap between two adjacent rows of cell sheets or along a gap between two adjacent columns of cell sheets with the folding angle of 0 degree to 180 degrees.
