Claim Text:
1. A building integrable photovoltaic (BIP) module assembly comprising: a first BIP module comprising a first photovoltaic cell positioned in between a first set of insulating sheets and a first cavity in the first set of insulating sheets, the first cavity comprising a first conductive element electrically coupled to the first photovoltaic cell, wherein the insulating sheets in the first set of insulating sheets are sealed directly together to form a seal around the first photovoltaic cell; a second BIP module comprising a second photovoltaic cell positioned in between a second set of insulating sheets and a second cavity in the second set of insulating sheets, the second cavity comprising a second conductive element electrically coupled to the second photovoltaic cell, the second cavity co-axially aligned with respect to the first cavity of the first BIP module, wherein the insulating sheets in the second set of insulating sheets are sealed directly together to form a seal around the second photovoltaic cell; and a pin connector comprising a conductive protrusion extending between the first cavity and the second cavity and electrically connecting the first conductive element and the second conductive element, wherein the first cavity is a through hole having a first opening and a second opening positioned on opposite sides of the first set of insulating sheets, the second opening facing the second BIP module, and the first opening is covered by an insulating head.
