| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a thin film photovoltaic module that has a protective substrate, such as glass, that has been contoured to define a space that overlies a bus bar on the thin film photovoltaic device. The contouring of the protective substrate greatly facilitates the deairing and lamination of the module because it reduces or eliminates the amount of trapped air and the degree to which the underlying polymeric material is forced to flow during lamination. Photovoltaic modules of the present invention can be processed with a minimum of waste caused by deairing and related lamination problems. |
