Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system for generating electricity. The system comprises at least two photovoltaic modules each having at least one photovoltaic element. Each photovoltaic module has ends and each end has an electrical coupling portion that is electrically coupled to the at least one photovoltaic cell. Each photovoltaic module is configured to be positioned in use near a perimeter of a panel that is at least partially transmissive for visible light. The system further comprises an electrical connector configured to electrically couple to the electrical coupling portions of adjacent photovoltaic modules.
