  • Lightweight photovoltaic module including a front layer made from glass or polymer and a rear layer comprising raised portions
    Patent number: 10546966
    Abstract: A lightweight photovoltaic module including: a first transparent layer forming the front face; photovoltaic cells; an assembly encapsulating the photovoltaic cells; and a second layer forming the rear face and containing an inner surface and an outer surface. The encapsulating assembly and the photovoltaic cells are located between the first and second layers. The module is characterized in that: the first layer is made from glass and/or polymer material and has a thickness that is less than or equal to 1.1 mm; the inner surface is substantially planar; and the second layer includes raised portions projecting from the outer surface, the outer surface and raised portions together defining the visible rear outer surface of the photovoltaic module.
