The present invention is for a system and method of creating a continuous,
seamless, waterproof, weatherproof, electrically generating surface that
can be applied over a great variety of structural components. The method
comprises coating the selected surface with a base elastomeric coating
thus sealing holes, cracks and other surface imperfections. In one
embodiment, the base elastomeric coating is allowed to dry and at least
one photovoltaic module is placed on the base elastomeric coating by
using another coat of elastomeric material applied to the underside
surface of the photovoltaic module or on the surface of the base
elastomeric coating where the photovoltaic module will be applied.
Another layer of an elastomeric coating is applied covering the perimeter
edges of the photovoltaic module creating a continuous, seamless,
waterproof, weatherproof surface capable of generating electricity. Other
embodiments include various strengthening elements to create durable,
weatherproof surfaces with the photovoltaic modules integrated therein.
