摘要： A solar-cell module. The solar-cell module includes a plurality of solar cells that are electrically coupled together. The solar-cell module further includes an in-laminate-diode assembly electrically coupled with the plurality of solar cells. The in-laminate-diode assembly is configured to prevent power loss. The solar-cell module also includes a protective structure at least partially encapsulating the plurality of solar cells. In addition, the solar-cell module includes a plurality of external-connection mechanisms mounted to a respective plurality of edge regions of the protective structure. An external-connection mechanism of the plurality of external-connection mechanisms is configured to enable collection of current from the plurality of solar cells and to allow interconnection with at least one other external device.

摘要： A photovoltaic module having a light transmissive front layer, a back layer, and a plurality of interconnected photovoltaic cells disposed between the light transmissive front layer and the back layer has a CTE-modified composite encapsulant is interposed between the plurality of solar cells and the light transmissive front layer. The composite encapsulant includes a bulk encapsulant transmissive to visible and near visible wavelengths of the solar spectrum and having a base coefficient of thermal (CTE) expansion, and an encapsulant CTE modifier in the bulk encapsulant. The encapsulant CTE modifier is substantially evenly distributed through the composite encapsulant thickness and interacts with the bulk encapsulant to reduce the effective CTE of the composite encapsulant below that of the bulk encapsulant.
