Abstract

See full text

A method for integrating photovoltaic module includes providing a cover plate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface and supplying photovoltaic devices respectively formed on substrates. The photovoltaic devices include photovoltaic cells electrically coupled to each other, and each cell is characterized by a thin-film photovoltaic layer sandwiched between a first electrode material and a second electrode material. The first electrode material overlies the substrate and the second electrode material overlies the thin-film photovoltaic layer. The method further includes disposing the solar devices side by side to laminate with the cover plate by means of a first organic material filled between the second electrode material and the second surface. Each of the solar devices has a peripheral edge region being sealed by a second organic material. The method further includes electrically coupling the solar devices to each other.
