A method of forming a photovoltaic (PV) cell module comprises the step of applying a first polymeric composition around a periphery of i) a front face of a substrate and/or ii) a rear face of a cover sheet to form a peripheral tie-layer on the face(s). The method further comprises the step of applying a second polymeric composition, different than the first polymeric composition, to ii) the rear face of the cover sheet to form an inner tie-layer. The method further comprises the step of disposing a PV cell on the inner tie-layer formed from the application of the second polymeric composition. The method further comprises the step of combining the substrate and the cover sheet to form the PV cell module such that the peripheral tie-layer and the inner tie-layer are sandwiched between the substrate and the cover sheet with the PV cell encapsulated by the inner tie-layer. |
