  • Publication number: 20160079462
    Abstract: A package structure of solar photovoltaic module is provided. The package structure of solar photovoltaic module includes a transparent substrate, a backsheet disposed opposite to the transparent substrate, a plurality of solar cells between the transparent substrate and the backsheet, several encapsulants sandwiched in between the transparent substrate and the backsheet, and an optical board, wherein the encapsulants encapsulate the solar cells. The optical board is adhered to an outer surface of the backsheet, wherein the optical board has an embossing surface, and the embossing surface is a serrated surface, and a vertex angle of the serrated surface is larger than 60° and less than 150°.

  • Publication number: 20100170561
    Abstract: A surface layer of a solar cell module is provided for being added onto a surface of the solar cell module. The surface layer is a liquid having a predetermined height and a refractive index from 1 to 1.55 for increasing light transmission and/or a thermal resistivity of the surface layer is less than that of the glass to improve heat dissipation of the solar cell module. The surface layer of the solar cell further includes a storage buffer apparatus to keep the predetermined height of the surface layer with/without texture from wave generators for the improvement in light transmission and heat dissipation.
