Abstract: The invention relates to thin-film solar power modules. The problem associated with known thin-film solar power modules is that the barrier effect of the front film does not prevent moisture from permeating the space between the solar cell and the cover film when exposed to moisture over a longer period of time. In order to solve this problem, the solar module comprises, starting from the solar cell (6), the following layer structure: front: an inorganic barrier layer (2), an inorganic-organic hybrid polymer barrier layer (3), a transparent adhesive layer (4a), a transparent cover film (1b); back: a transparent adhesive layer (4b), a standard backing film (7b).

Abstract: The invention refers to a non-glass and flexible solar power module and the method for its manufacture where the module is provided with a circumferential and flexible frame having integrated through-wiring and socket parts, which are formed face-side into the frame, for module interconnection by means of plug-in connectors. The solar module is thoroughly and completely sealed off on its rear side and has a full-surface smooth texture which is established by the insertion of a thin flexible panel, preferably made of plastic, together with the laminate into the form for the manufacture of the frame by means of RIM (reaction injection moulding). The modules are mounted on the building, preferably by means of bonding/cementing to practically any random roof materials, as well as to curved surfaces and without a backward cable lead.
