A photovoltaic module assembly is mounted on a frame of a racking system of a photovoltaic module installation site. The photovoltaic module assembly includes at least one photovoltaic module and at least one rash. The photovoltaic module includes a back sheet, at least one crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell supported on the back sheet, a first encapsulant layer formed from a silicone composition supported on the photovoltaic cell, and a cover sheet supported on the first encapsulant layer. The rail is fixed relative to the back sheet and is configured to support the one photovoltaic module on the racking system. Adhesive adheres the back sheet of the photovoltaic module to the rail. The adhesive is formed from a room-temperature vulcanizing silicone composition and has a thickness from the rail to the back sheet of between 2.3 mm and 6.0 mm.
