Abstract: A lamination device for laminating a photovoltaic stack on a profiled metallic panel, the lamination device including a lid covered on its underside with an upper flexible pressure membrane so as to form an airtight upper chamber that may be ventilated or evacuated and/or including an upper heating device whose bottom side has a crenellated profile, the device also including a chassis covered on its top with a lower flexible pressure membrane so as to form an airtight lower chamber that may be ventilated or evacuated and/or including a lower heating device whose upper side has a cross-section which differs from the crenellated profile of the bottom side of the upper heating device, wherein the lid is capable of sealably laying on the chassis so that the cavity thus formed is airtight and may be ventilated or evacuated. A corresponding process is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a panel. The panel includes an upper transverse edge having an upper overlap area intended to be covered by an adjacent panel and a lower transverse edge having a lower overlap area intended to covered by an adjacent panel. The panel also includes a first longitudinal edge having a first longitudinal rib, a central part, extending from the first longitudinal rib, having a recess located in the upper overlap area which has an opening for flush mounting an electrical junction box and a perforation located in the lower overlap area for passing through an electrical connector. The panel further includes a second longitudinal edge extending from the central part and having a second longitudinal rib. The first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib have shapes enabling them to overlap.
