A photovoltaic laminate comprising transparent and support layers, a photovoltaic layer, and an encapsulant material is sealed in an air-tight manner. The encapsulant has a predetermined sealing temperature and exhibits a predetermined energy absorptivity response. The laminate is heated by a source having an energy output characteristic tuned to the energy absorptivity response of the encapsulant. The encapsulant may be modified to increase heating in localized areas. Before the encapsulant reaches its sealing temperatures, air is withdrawn so the atmosphere compresses the laminate. The encapsulant adhesively contacts against the photovoltaic layer and the force member forces the insert into adhesive contact with the photovoltaic layer and the transparent and protective layers, thereby to form a sealed laminated structure. |
