Abstract: This disclosure provides photovoltaic energy collecting systems, and methods of making such systems. In one implementation, an apparatus includes transmissive light collection panels, each panel having at least one photovoltaic cell on an edge of the panel. The panel is configured to pass through a first portion of incident light and use a second portion of incident light to generate photovoltaic energy. The apparatus also includes a first and second electrical output terminal, a first and second electrical bus, and a metallic frame assembly having multiple openings, each light collection panel being disposed in one of the openings. The frame assembly includes a cavity that houses the first and second electrical bus, the first electrical bus connected to each photovoltaic cell and to the first electrical output terminal, and the second electrical bus is connected to each photovoltaic cell and to the second electrical output terminal.
