The invention relates to a photovoltaic module with an integrated regulation and storage system which fits with the shape of the original PV module. It solves the overheating problems for the PV module and the storage batteries. The invention enables those who install the PV module with integrated storage not to depend on additional external storage systems. Thus, the system is completely stand-alone, modular, and can be mounted mechanically in all the typical configurations of PV modules.

Advantages: integrated storage system (not external), stand-alone operations, fully modular system, standard installation that can be extended to all new or standard PV modules.
