Solar Module with a Stiffening Layer

摘要

A solar module includes a plurality of interconnected photovoltaic cells, an encapsulant layer encapsulating the photovoltaic cells, the encapsulant layer having a first side, a protective layer coupled to the first side of the encapsulant layer, and a stiffening layer coupled to the protective layer, the stiffening layer having an open support structure that provides stiffness to the solar module.
