Abstract
Photovoltaic module systems are provided. These systems can comprise multiple photovoltaic laminates connected with one or more mechanical coupling pairs that extend beyond perimeter edges of individual photovoltaic laminates. The mechanical coupling pairs can be connected to ends of support members positioned beneath the photovoltaic laminates. During assembly, an additional photovoltaic laminate may be added to connected photovoltaic laminates that are previously connected and lie along a shared plane of reference via pairs of mechanical couplings.
