Abstract:
1. A method of layering a structure using elastomeric weatherproofing building material coatings and photovoltaic modules to provide a continuous, seamless, waterproof, weatherproof and electrically generating surface comprising the steps of: selecting an exposed exterior surface to be treated; coating at least a portion of said exposed exterior surface with a first elastomeric coating; embedding at least one photovoltaic module within said first elastomeric coating; applying a second elastomeric coat over said first elastomeric coat and around a perimeter of said photovoltaic module wherein said photovoltaic module is sealed therein; applying a flashing member across a seam between said photovoltaic element and said second elastomeric coat further sealing said photovoltaic element; and applying a third elastomeric coat on top of said flashing element.
