Abstract
A photovoltaic module includes a frame structure and a plurality of wind suction securing devices. The frame structure serves to provide a predetermined spacing between a substrate and a flexible photovoltaic panel. The wind suction securing devices have a predetermined height corresponding to the predetermined spacing and are arranged in a spaced relationship on a surface of the photovoltaic panel. Each wind suction securing device includes an upper part securely attachable to the photovoltaic panel and a lower part securely attachable to the substrate. The upper and lower parts are releasably connectable to each other.

A photovoltaic module comprising:
- a flexible photovoltaic panel having a plurality of solar cell rows;
- a frame structure providing a predetermined spacing between the photovoltaic panel and a substrate;
- and
- a plurality of wind suction securing devices configured to releasably connect the photovoltaic panel to the substrate, each of the wind suction securing devices having a height corresponding to the predetermined spacing and being disposed in a spaced relationship with respect to each other on a surface of the photovoltaic panel, each wind suction securing device having at least an upper part and a lower part, wherein the upper part is securely attachable to the photovoltaic panel and the lower part is securely attachable to the substrate, and wherein the upper part and lower part are releasably connectable to each other.
A method of producing a photovoltaic module including a plurality of wind suction securing devices each having a releasable upper and lower part, the method comprising:
- attaching the lower parts to a substrate;
- releasably connecting the upper and lower parts of each wind suction securing device;
- applying an adhesive to a panel-facing end of each of the upper parts;
- and
- fixing a photovoltaic panel onto the panel-facing ends of the upper parts.
