A system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on and arranged in an array on a roof deck. Each of the photovoltaic modules includes first and second ends, and a baseplate located at the first end. The baseplate of one of the photovoltaic modules is substantially aligned with the baseplate of an adjacent another one of the photovoltaic modules. The baseplate is configured to receive at least one electrical component. The substantially aligned baseplates include a longitudinal axis. The system includes at least one wire cover removably attached to at least one of the baseplates. The at least one wire cover is moveable in at least a first direction transverse relative to the longitudinal axis.

Photovoltaic systems with wireways

A system comprises a passthrough installed on a roof deck. The passthrough includes a base with an aperture, and a lid attached to the base. The aperture of the base is configured to align with an aperture formed within the roof deck. The system includes at least one cable and a grommet installed on the at least one cable. The lid and the base are configured to compress the grommet around the at least one cable.

Electrical cable passthrough for photovoltaic systems

A system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on a roof deck in an array. Each of the photovoltaic modules includes a wire cover bracket substantially aligned with the wire cover bracket of an adjacent another one of the photovoltaic modules. At least one cover is removably attached to at least one of the wire cover brackets. The cover includes a top portion, a first side portion extending from a first side of the top portion, and a second side portion extending from a second side of the top portion opposite the first side. The top portion of the at least one cover is configured to divert water from entering the wire cover bracket from above the at least one cover. The first and second side portions are configured to divert water from entering the wire cover bracket from a lateral direction relative to the wire cover bracket.

Building integrated photovoltaic system

A system includes a roof deck having a slope of 0.25 inch to 3 inches per foot and a roofing membrane is composed of a first material, and at least one photovoltaic module installed on the roof deck. The photovoltaic module includes at least one solar cell, an encapsulant, a frontsheet, and a backsheet. The backsheet includes a head flap located at a first end of the backsheet, and a bottom flap located at a second end of the backsheet. The backsheet is composed of the first material. At least a first portion of the head flap is attached to the roofing membrane, and at least a second portion of the bottom flap is attached to the roofing membrane.
