Abstract: A method for depositing a CdTe layer on a substrate in a vacuum chamber by means of physical gas phase deposition is provided. The substrate is heated to a coating temperature before the deposition process and then guided past a vessel in which CdTe is converted into a vapour state, a gaseous component with an increased pressure (compared to the vacuum in the vacuum chamber) flowing through at least one inlet, against the substrate surface to be coated, such that the gaseous component is adsorbed on the substrate surface to be coated before the substrate is guided past the at least one vessel.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a photovoltaic vehicle roof. The photovoltaic vehicle roof comprises a structural layer including a flat-plate or single-curve surface shaped power generation zone and a transition zone disposed around the power generation zone, and a photovoltaic module layer including a flexible photovoltaic thin-film module secured to an upper surface of the power generation zone. The present disclosure adopts a single-curve surface or flat-plate shaped power generation zone, and only needs to lay the flexible photovoltaic thin-film module on the power generation zone. The process is simple and convenient, and can effectively prolong the service life of the photovoltaic vehicle roof since no complex stress will be generated.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thin-film double-glazed photovoltaic module and a fabrication method thereof. The thin-film double-glazed photovoltaic module includes: back glass, front plate glass, and a thin-film cell stack. A hollow cavity is formed between the back glass and the front plate glass by means of a spacing strip, and the thin-film cell stack is arranged in the hollow cavity. The spacing strip is provided with a metal wire, and the metal wire is consistent with the spacing strip in direction. According to the thin-film double-glazed photovoltaic module and the fabrication method thereof provided by the present disclosure, by forming the hollow cavity between the back glass and the front plate glass, it is ensured that the thin-film cell stack is not squeezed by the back glass and the front plate glass, such that stretching or damaging the thin-film cell stack due to expansion caused by heat and contraction caused by cold of the back glass and the front plate glass is avoided, and thus the service life of the thin-film cell stack is prolonged.
