High-quality photovoltaic devices can be produced while lowering manufacturing costs by the inventive process. In the process, solar cells are manufactured, connected, and placed on one or more curable plastic sheets at a solar cell manufacturing plant. The plastic sheets are then heated at a sufficient temperature to bond the plastic sheets to the solar cells without a substantial amount of curing and polymerization of the plastic sheet. The plastic sheet is then cooled. The plastic sheet can be coated with a protective water-resistant coating. The partially cured photovoltaic subassembly is subsequently shipped to a manufacturing facility, such as a glass plant or automobile plant, where it is contacted with a glass support member providing a superstrate or a substrate. The plastic sheet of the photovoltaic subassembly is then fully cured, polymerized, and bonded to the glass superstrate or substrate. |
