Any module that deviates from a standard size or shape introduces new thermo-mechanical complexities. Large-format utility modules (e.g., using G12 wafers) face significant challenges with
Due to their rigidity and shape, most photovoltaic (PV) panels are difficult to apply in geometrically complex situations. However, thin film photovoltaic modules can be applied to thin sheet metal,
