Made to elements capable of collecting light

A solar module, comprising a first substrate having a glass function and forming a cover, and a second substrate forming a support, the first substrate and the second substrate sandwiching between two electrode-forming conductive layers at least one functional layer based on an absorber material for converting light energy into electrical energy, the module further comprising at least two elongated reinforcing profiles fastened to the lower face of the second substrate, wherein the elongated reinforcing profiles are oriented parallel to one of the sides of the module and are uniformly distributed on said lower face, wherein the profiles are internally offset relative to the sides of the module and wherein the profiles are configured for attachment to (1) a support framework attached to a carrier structure or (2) a carrier structure, wherein each profile has a cross section in the form of two inverted Vs or two inverted Us, wherein each profile comprises:

• a first flat region extending parallel to one of the sides of the module configured to form a contact region for contact with the rear face of the module,
• a first arm projecting from a longitudinal edge of the first flat region,
• a second flat region parallel to the first flat region projecting from the first arm at its other longitudinal edge configured to form a contact region for contact with the support framework or carrier structure,
• a second arm projecting from the longitudinal edge of the second flat region,
• a third flat region parallel to the first flat region projecting from the second arm at its other longitudinal edge configured to form a contact region for contact with the rear face of the module,
• a third arm projecting from the longitudinal edge of the third flat region,
• a fourth flat region parallel to the first flat region projecting from the third arm at its other longitudinal edge configured to form a contact region for contact with the support framework or carrier structure,
• wherein the first arm and second arm form a first V or U and the second arm and third arm form a second V or U, with the second V or U being inverted with respect to the first V or U.
