The photovoltaic cells are connected in series and/or in parallel so as to increment the level of power to be generated. The connection of several cells leads to the formation of strings which require a electrical and mechanical protection provided by the superimposition of several layers of materials. This system leads to the realization of the Module which is composed as follows: 1) aluminum frame confers greater mechanical strength to the module and facilitates its installation; 2) sheet of tempered glass of variable thickness which has a dual function: optimize the level of incident radiation transmitted on the cell (> 90%); ensure good mechanical strength; 3) first encapsulating sheet transparent EVA (Ethylene vinyl acetate) which has the function of guaranteeing the seal against foreign agents and good dielectric insulation; 4) second encapsulating sheet EVA for the back insulation; 5) Pye Tedlar encapsulating backsheet which confers sturdiness to the module; 6) junction box for electrical connections necessary for installation. |
