A segmented solar module is disclosed. One or more Photovoltaic (PV) submodules are connected together with embedded parallel wiring that facilitates the sharing of power from a plurality of PV submodules to power one or more electrical devices. Each one of the two or more first submodules cover a surface area more than twice the size of the surface area covered by a second submodule. This allows the second submodule to be isolated from the first submodules to accommodate shading of the second submodule. Control electronics within each individual PV submodule allows the isolation of PV modules that are shaded or otherwise not productive. No external connecting wiring, or devices are required to make the system functional. All wiring, connectors and electronics are integral and embedded within each individual PV module. The PV modules have adhesive on the back to allow them to be installed without additional mounting hardware. All submodules, wiring and electronic components are completely encapsulated together in one solar module.
