ABSTRACT:
An improved photovoltaic solar cell module and method of manufacture is provided wherein the module comprises a plurality of solar cells and a novel and improved arrangement for hermetically sealing off the solar cells from the surrounding environment. A preferred embodiment of the invention has an edge seal arrangement that comprises a plurality of U-shaped channel members made of a selected thermoplastic material, such as high density polyethylene, and strips made of an ionomer positioned between and bonded to the U-shaped channel members and the outer surfaces of the front and back support sheets of the module. An alternative embodiment omits the U-shaped channel members and uses a thermoplastic backskin that overlaps and is bonded to the front support sheet of the module.
