1. A method for fabricating and inspecting a photovoltaic assembly, including a base, at least one photovoltaic module comprising at least one photovoltaic cell between a first transparent layer forming a front face of said at least one photovoltaic module and the base, and at least one adhesion layer based on a crosslinkable polymer material, disposed between the base and said at least one photovoltaic module, wherein the method comprises:
a step A) of depositing said at least one adhesion layer on the base,
a step B) of assembling said at least one photovoltaic module on the base covered by said at least one adhesion layer,
a step C) of partially crosslinking said at least one adhesion layer based on a crosslinkable polymer material to form at least one partially crosslinked adhesion layer, having an adhesive power allowing a subsequent removal of said at least one photovoltaic module,
an electrical connection step D) of electrically connecting said at least one photovoltaic module to electrical connection means of the base,
a step E) of inspecting the mechanical and electrical functioning of said at least one photovoltaic module,
in the event of correct functioning being detected at an outcome of step E), a step F) of finalizing the crosslinking of said at least one partially crosslinked adhesion layer, and
in the event of incorrect functioning being detected at the outcome of step E), a step G) of removing at least one defective photovoltaic module, then returning to step A) in view of assembling one or more new photovoltaic modules.
