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. Leads bringing generated energy pass outward laterally from the laminate through a stem. The laminate and stem are heated by a source having an energy output characteristic tuned to the energy absorptivity response of the encapsulant. Before the encapsulant and stem reach their respective sealing or softening temperatures air is withdrawn so the atmosphere compresses the laminate. The encapsulant adhesively contacts against the photovoltaic layer and the transparent and protective layers and the stem collapses against the leads in the presence of a pressure differential. The stem also melds to the encapsulant, thereby to form a sealed laminated structure. |
