Abstract
A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module having at least one photovoltaic cell includes a step of encapsulating the photovoltaic cell including the formation of a stack having the photovoltaic cell; an encapsulation film based on a polymer material cross-linked at least at its freezing point; and an adhesion layer based on a crosslinkable polymer material. The adhesion layer is configured to adhere the encapsulation film to the photovoltaic cell. The manufacturing method also includes a cross-linking step including cross-linking the crosslinkable polymer material of the adhesion layer.
Claims13
A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module comprising at least one photovoltaic cell, the manufacturing method comprising a step of encapsulating the photovoltaic cell comprising the formation of a stack comprising:
- the photovoltaic cell,
- an encapsulation film based on a polymer material crosslinked at least at its gel point, and
- an adhesion layer based on a crosslinkable polymer material, the adhesion layer being configured to bond the encapsulation film to the photovoltaic cell,
- wherein the manufacturing method comprises:
- a crosslinking step comprising crosslinking of the crosslinkable polymer material of the adhesion layer, and
- a step of forming the adhesion layer on the encapsulation film before bringing the adhesion layer into contact with the photovoltaic cell.
