Abstract

A photovoltaic panel system including photovoltaic panels, purlins, and a rigid support. The purlins are oriented parallel to one another and are oriented perpendicular to an orientation of horizontal members extending along a length of the PV panel. Each purlin has a flat bottom surface plate and a flat top surface plate, which are lengthwise connected with a vertically oriented plate. The flat bottom surface plate is directly adjacent to the horizontal members. The purlins have a length greater than a width of the PV panels. At least 6 purlins are evenly spaced along the length of the PV panel. The flat top surface plate of each purlin is in thermal contact, via an adhesive, with a back surface of each PV panel.
