SOLAR CELL MODULE WITH HIGH ELECTRIC SUSCEPTIBILITY LAYER

摘要

A solar cell module includes solar cells that are encased in a protective package and a high electric susceptibility layer that is placed on the solar cells. The high electric susceptibility layer is polarized such that a sheet charge is developed at the interface of the high electric susceptibility layer and the solar cells. The protective package includes an encapsulant that encapsulates the solar cells. The encapsulant may be a multilayer encapsulant, with the high electric susceptibility layer being a layer of the encapsulant. The high electric susceptibility layer may also be a material that is separate from the encapsulant.

1. A solar cell module comprising:
a plurality of solar cells, the plurality of solar cells having front sides facing the sun during normal operation and backsides opposite the front sides; a high electric susceptibility layer on the plurality of solar cells, the high electric susceptibility layer having an electric susceptibility of at least 100; an encapsulant encapsulating the plurality of solar cells; and a transparent top cover on the high electric susceptibility layer.
