Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly comprising: (a) at least two photovoltaic components that are adjacent to each other, each photovoltaic component comprising: (i) a partial connector channel in communication with a partial connector channel in an adjacent photovoltaic component and (ii) one or more connector receptors; (b) a connector located at least partially in the partial connector channel of the photovoltaic component and at least partially in the partial connector channel of the adjacent photovoltaic component so that the connector connects the photovoltaic component to the adjacent photovoltaic component, the connector comprising: a housing having: (1) a top housing and (2) a bottom housing, wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include a first end and a second end; one or more flexible electrical conductors that extend from the first end to the second end; wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include one or more mechanical flexing regions that allow the housing to mechanically flex.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a packaging article. In an embodiment, the packaging article includes a body having a geometric shape, the body composed of a three-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM). The 3DRLM is composed of an olefin-based polymer. The packaging article includes a sleeve having opposing ends on respective opposing surfaces of the body. The sleeve extends through an interior portion of the body. The sleeve has an opening at each respective end. Each opening has a closed width. The packaging article includes a product having an insert shape. The insert shape has an insert width that is greater than or equal to the closed width of the sleeve opening. A portion of the 3DRLM moves from a neutral state to a stretched state when the product is inserted into the sleeve.
