ENCAPSULANTS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES

摘要

A photovoltaic (PV) Module can include a substantially transparent cover, first encapsulant, a solar cell and a second encapsulant. The second encapsulant can be configured to allow thermal communication between the solar cell and a heat sink. Various configurations and methods of making the same are presented.
