A method is provided of fabricating a photo voltaic generator panel () including a polymer back sheet () with at least one attachment feature () so as to provide means of attaching the panel to a structural support () upon subsequent installation. At least one polymer attachment feature () is applied to the outer side of the polymer back sheet of the panel during the manufacturing process for the panel whereby the attachment feature projects with respect to the back sheet. The application may be in conjunction with a lamination process, or subsequent to the lamination process, or as an integral part of the back sheet manufacturing process. The attachment feature is adapted to engage with a corresponding feature () or features to be found on a support structure () located at a site for the installation of the panel. The said at least one polymer attachment feature and said outer side of the polymer back sheet have a similar thermal expansion coefficient.
