Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic device. The method includes the steps of providing a front substrate and a back substrate, forming a photovoltaic cell on the front substrate, encapsulating the photovoltaic cell by an encapsulant, attaching a solid state sealant tape on one of the two substrates, and adhering the two substrates through the solid state sealant tape and the encapsulant. The solid state sealant tape is in solid state at room temperature. The photovoltaic cell and the encapsulant are situated within an enclosed space formed by the two substrates and the solid state sealant tape.
