    Abstract: The manufacture of a photovoltaic module includes providing a first layer having a skew shape, manufacturing a second layer having a skew shape, and then placing a stack further including photovoltaic cells and at least one encapsulating material in an assembly mold varying between a closure configuration delimiting a predetermined air gap and an opening configuration. In an assembly step, where the closure configuration of the assembly mold is adopted, the temperature within the stack is maintained at an operating temperature comprised between 70° C. and 180° C., and preferably between 80° C. and 150° C., during an assembly period adapted as a function of the at least one encapsulating material so that the at least one encapsulating material undergoes melting at least partially and to create an encapsulating assembly capable of adhering to the plurality of photovoltaic cells and to the first layer and/or to the second layer.
