摘要:
The present invention relates to UV curable encapsulant compositions based on acrylic and/or methacrylic block copolymers, to structures containing these compositions especially photovoltaic cells and to the use of these compositions in photovoltaic cells. The liquid encapsulant composition according to the invention comprises: an acrylic or methacrylic block copolymer, at least one acrylic or methacrylic monomer and/or oligomer, and at least one photo initiator. wherein said acrylic or methacrylic block copolymer is of the general formula B- (A)n, wherein: n is a natural integer greater than or equal to 1, B represents an acrylic or methacrylic polymer block composed of a sequence of monomer units which may be polymerized by the radical route, the overall Tg of which is less than 0°C, A is an acrylic or methacrylic polymer block composed of a sequence of monomer units which may be polymerized by the radical route, the overall Tg of which is greater than 0°C, block B represents at least 50%, and preferably from 60% to 95% w/w of the block copolymer.
摘要:
A window is provided, comprising at least one exterior layers, one or more photovoltaic (PV) cells configured to convert a first portion of solar radiation impinging on the window to electrical energy, and at least one thermal conduit configured to draw heat from the PV cells. The thermal conduits are in conductive thermal communication with at least one of the PV cells with at least one of the exterior layer.
