  • Publication number: 20190229225
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a panel of photovoltaic cells includes baking a stack of a plurality of layers having different materials. The plurality of layers includes the following materials: a translucent front layer made of polymer, at least two layers of dry fabric made of fiberglass, at least two layers of fiberglass fabric pre-impregnated with epoxy resin, a layer of photovoltaic cells and a back layer made of polymer. The use of fiberglass fabrics impregnated with epoxy resin ensures excellent mechanical strength for the panel over time under the effect of climatic conditions. Prior to stacking the layers, the method includes making the layer of photovoltaic cells, including connecting rows of series-connected cells, the rows being connected to one another by field-effect transistors encapsulated in the panel at the end of the baking step.
