Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming an assembly (2) including a panel (4) and a photovoltaic module (3). The method comprises a step of providing a first semi-finished product which forms the panel. Said panel may for instance be a roof panel or a body panel of a vehicle. The method also comprises a step of providing a second semi-finished product which forms the photovoltaic module, i.e. a preformed photovoltaic module. Said photovoltaic module comprises a front sheet (34); a back sheet (35); and solar cells (33) encapsulated between the front sheet and the back sheet by means of at least a first encapsulant (31). Preferably, a first encapsulant is provided between the front sheet and the solar cells and a second encapsulant (32) provided between the solar cells and the back sheet. It is noted that said photovoltaic module is relatively flexible in comparison to the panel to which it is to be adhered. The method further comprises a step adhering the photovoltaic module, substantially over its entire back surface, to the panel.
