Abstract: A process produces weather-resistant laminates (1, 1?) for the encapsulation of solar cell systems (7). The process includes at least one weather-resistant plastic layer (2, 2?) being applied on a carrier material (4, 4?). The coating process shows the advantage that the relatively expensive starting products, which usually are used in the form of films, can be reduced in their thickness and in amounts thereof used. Owing to the controllable adjustment of the layer thickness of the weather-resistant layer (2, 2?), a considerable number of applications of the laminates that are produced, in particular in connection with the finished photovoltaic modules, are provided. These applications range from small energy units for emergency telephones or campers to large-area roof and facade systems and also large units and solar power plants.
