  • Publication number: 20230283231
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photovoltaic module comprising a front bonding layer to photovoltaic cells are attached, such that the front side of each photovoltaic cell is attached to the front bonding layer. The photovoltaic module further comprises an open container containing a dielectric heat transfer fluid. The container comprises a bottom wall and side walls wherein the front bonding layer is disposed on top of the open container in order to close the container such that at least part of the backside (6a) of each photovoltaic cell is in contact with the dielectric heat transfer fluid.
