Claims19
A method for making a photovoltaic module comprising:
- electrocoating a module comprising a front transparency, a front contact, a semiconductor, and a back contact, thereby depositing an electrocoat onto the back contact;
- and
- depositing a back coat onto a back side of the electrocoated module opposite the front transparency.
A photovoltaic module comprising:
- a front transparency;
- a front contact;
- a semiconductor;
- a back contact comprising a metallic conducting material;
- an electrocoat deposited on at least the back contact;
- and
- a back coat deposited onto a back side of the electrocoated module opposite the front transparency.
