PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

This invention relates to photovoltaic modules wherein a polyethylene composition is used as an alternative, in whole or in part, to traditional ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) resins in at least one layer. The polyethylene compositions are especially useful in the encapsulant and/or backsheet layers of photovoltaic modules. The polyethylene compositions comprise units derived from at least one C4 to C6 alpha-olefin comonomer, and have densities of 0.86 g/cm3 to 0.91 g/cm3.
