Encapsulant material for photovoltaic modules and method of preparing the same

An encapsulant material for a photovoltaic module, the encapsulant material comprising:

• between 30 and 50 parts by weight of fiber cloth;
• and
• between 50 and 70 parts by weight of acrylic powder coating, the acrylic powder coating comprising an acrylic resin, a curing agent, and an additive;
• wherein:
• the acrylic powder coating is uniformly coated on the fiber cloth;
• the curing agent is present in an amount of between 5 and 25% by weight of the acrylic powder coating, and is selected from the group consisting of blocked isocyanate, phthalic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, sebacic acid, undecanedioic acid, dodecanedioic acid, tridecanedioic acid, tetradecanedioic acid, pentadecanedioic acid, hexadecanedioic acid, carboxyl polyester, hydrogenated epoxy, glycidyl methacrylate-type (GMA-type) acrylic acid, and a mixture thereof;
• and
• a weight per unit area of the fiber cloth is between 30 and 400 g/m2, and a weight per unit area of the acrylic powder coating on the fiber cloth is between 100 and 400 g/m2.
