Interconnected photovoltaic module configuration

A photovoltaic module assembly, comprising:

• a front sheet;
• a back sheet;
• an array of photovoltaic modules disposed between the front sheet and the back sheet, each of the photovoltaic modules are separated from one another by a first length, wherein
• each photovoltaic module comprises two or more sub-modules that each have a cathode region and an anode region, wherein
• adjacent sub-modules within each photovoltaic module are separated by a second length,
• the first length is greater than the second length, and
• the anode region is disposed at an opposite end of the photovoltaic module from the cathode region, each sub-module comprising:
• an array of photovoltaic cells extending in a second direction from the cathode region to the anode region, each of the photovoltaic cells separated from one another by a third length, wherein the third length is smaller than the second length;
• a first busbar that is aligned in a first direction, and is electrically coupled to the cathode region of each sub-module;
• and
• a second busbar that is aligned in the first direction, and is electrically coupled to the anode region of each sub-module.

A photovoltaic module assembly, comprising:

• a front sheet having a first end and a second end, which is opposite to the first end;
• a back sheet having a first end and a second end, which is opposite to the first end;
• an array of photovoltaic modules disposed between the front sheet and the back sheet, wherein
• the array of photovoltaic modules are positioned in a first direction between the first end of the front sheet and the back sheet and the second end of the front sheet and the back sheet,
• a gap is formed in the first direction between adjacent edges of adjacent photovoltaic modules disposed within the array,
• an edge of a first photovoltaic module of the array of photovoltaic modules, disposed closest to the first end of the front sheet and the back sheet, is positioned a first end length from the first end of the front sheet and the back sheet,
• the first end length is larger than the gap, and
• each photovoltaic module comprises two or more sub-modules that each have a cathode region and an anode region, and wherein the anode region is disposed at an opposite end of the photovoltaic module from the cathode region;
• a first busbar that is aligned in the first direction, and is electrically coupled to the cathode region of each sub-module;
• and
• a second busbar that is aligned in the first direction, and is electrically coupled to the anode region of each sub-module.
