Photovoltaic module with light-scattering encapsulant providing shingle-mimicking appearance

A system, comprising:

• a roof deck;
• at least one photovoltaic module installed on the roof deck,
• wherein each of the at least one photovoltaic module includes:
• a frontsheet,
• an encapsulant,
• wherein the encapsulant includes an upper layer,
• wherein the upper layer is juxtaposed with the frontsheet, and
• a plurality of solar cells,
• wherein the plurality of solar cells is encapsulated by the encapsulant,
• wherein the plurality of solar cells includes
• at least a first solar cell, a second solar cell and a third solar cell,
• wherein the upper layer of the encapsulant is above the first solar cell, the second solar cell, and the third solar cell;
• and
• light-scattering material in the upper layer of the encapsulant,
• wherein the light-scattering material includes a first light-scattering material and a second light-scattering material,
• wherein the first light-scattering material is above the first solar cell,
• wherein the first light-scattering material has a first light-scattering value as measured in accordance with an ASTM E430 standard,
• wherein the second light-scattering material is above the second solar cell,
• wherein the second light-scattering material has a second light-scattering value as measured in accordance with the ASTM E430 standard, and
• wherein the second light-scattering value is different than the first light-scattering value.
