  • Patent number: 10340404
    Abstract: Provided is a multilayer film including inorganic particles having a band gap energy of 3.3 eV or more and inorganic particles having a band gap energy of less than 3.3 eV in different layers. Here, the layer including inorganic particles having band gap energy of 3.3 eV or more is disposed at an upper portion than the layer including inorganic particles having a band gap energy of less than 3.3 eV. Accordingly, the layer including inorganic particles having a band gap energy of 3.3 eV or more is included close to incident light to increase a reflectance in UV region and induce internal reflection, thereby enhancing energy conversion efficiency of a cell. At the same time, the multilayer film may include a lower encapsulant layer or backsheet including inorganic particles having a band gap energy of 3.3 eV or more, thereby increasing reflectances in visible and IR regions and thus reducing a loss of the incident light.

  • Patent number: 9379264
    Abstract: A multilayered film, a back sheet for a photovoltaic cell, methods of manufacturing the film and cell, and a photovoltaic module including the film and cell are provided. The multilayered film includes a resin layer formed on a substrate, and the resin layer contains a fluorine-based polymer and a reactive functional group having an equivalent weight of 30,000 or less. The resin layer containing the fluorine-based polymer has good durability and weatherability and is highly adhesive to the substrate at an interface between the resin layer and the substrate. Also, since a drying process may be performed at a low temperature during manufacture of the multilayered film, manufacturing costs may be reduced, productivity may be increased, and degradation in the quality of products due to thermal deformation or thermal shock may be prevented. The multilayered film may be effectively used as, for example, a back sheet for various photovoltaic modules.

  • Patent number: 9312415
    Abstract: Provided are a multi-layered sheet, a backsheet for a photovoltaic cell, a method of preparing the same and a photovoltaic module. The multi-layered sheet in which a resin layer including a fluorine-based resin has excellent durability and weather resistance, and also exhibits strong interfacial adhesion to a substrate or polymer coating layer is provided. When a drying process is performed at a low temperature in preparation of the multi-layered sheet, production cost can be reduced, producibility can be increased, and degradation in the quality of a product caused by thermal deformation or thermal shock can be prevented. Such a multi-layered sheet may be effectively used as a backsheet for various photovoltaic cells.
