Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, all of these prior art solutions are either complex or require an additional layer to be applied to the module
Essentially, for every additional layer added to the mod, the risk of mod stripping increases as there are more interfaces between layers that could separate
Additionally, special manufacturing techniques or equipment may be required

Embodiment Construction

[0048] In the following it should be noted that unless it is expressly stated that a particular layer is disposed directly on an adjacent layer, there may also be one or more intervening layers between said layers. Therefore, by default, "on" should be interpreted as "directly or indirectly on". Additionally, the patterning of certain layers, connectors, etc. are not shown as they are well known to the skilled person.

[0049] figure 1 A first embodiment of the photovoltaic (PV) module 1 of the present invention is shown.

[0050] The module 1 comprises a front plate 11 on the light incident side of the module 1 ready to be illuminated in use (indicated by the sun symbol in the figure), and a front plate 11 on the opposite side of the module 1 from the front plate 11 rear panel 19. The front plate may be glass, transparent ceramic, polymer or any other suitable substantially transparent material, while the back plate may be metal, glass, ceramic, polymer or any other suitab...

Abstract

Photovoltaic module (1) comprising: - a front sheet (11) arranged on a light incident side of said photovoltaic module (1); - a back sheet (19) arranged on an opposite side of said photovoltaic module(1) to said front sheet (11); - a photovoltaic conversion device (15) disposed between said front sheet (11) and said back sheet (19); - at least one front encapsulation layer (13) disposed between said photovoltaic conversion device (15) and said front sheet (11); characterized in that said front encapsulation layer (13) comprises pigment particles (21) distributed therein.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic modules. More particularly, the present invention relates to colored photovoltaic modules and methods of manufacture thereof that are particularly suitable for building integration applications. Background technique [0002] The natural color of photovoltaic (PV) devices (also known as solar cells or solar panels) tends to be close to black, often accompanied by violet or indigo, with a well-defined pattern of individual cells visible. When such PV devices are installed on buildings, they can be unsightly, and for this reason it is often not acceptable to use them directly as building cladding. [0003] To overcome this problem, coloured PV devices have been proposed, which enable their integration into the structure of buildings, especially as external cladding. [0004] Document US 9,281,186 discloses a membrane which is placed on the front plate of a PV device to change the appea...
