Attachment of photovoltaic devices to substrates using slotted extrusion members

A photovoltaic device/architectural membrane system comprising:

• a first layer comprising a fluoropolymer encapsulated reinforcement layer having a first side and a second side;
• a second layer comprising a bondable layer disposed on the second side of the first layer;
• a third layer, comprising a fluoropolymer encapsulated reinforcement such that a first side provides an unencapsulated reinforcement surface, such that the encapsulated surface is adhered to the bondable layer there between;
• a fourth layer, comprising an adhesive disposed upon the unencapsulated reinforcement surface of the third layer;
• and
• a shaped edge disposed upon the fourth layer, wherein the shaped edge comprises an outer edge and an inner edge, wherein a profile is located about the inner edge and is adapted to engage and support a photovoltaic device.
