An integrated back-sheet for a photovoltaic module is provided. A process for forming the back-sheet includes the steps of providing a fluoropolymer film, providing a polymer melt comprising 10 to 85 weight percent olefin-based elastomer, 5 to 75 weight percent of inorganic particulates, and 5 to 80 weight percent of adhesive selected from thermoplastic polymer adhesives and tackifiers, and depositing the polymer melt directly on the fluoropolymer film to form a polymer layer with a surface adhered directly to the fluoropolymer film. When incorporated into a photovoltaic module, the polymer layer of the back-sheet is adhered directly to the rear surfaces of a plurality of solar cells. |
