ABSTRACT:
A photovoltaic module with improved thermal properties, a method of making same and a structural, thermally improved photovoltaic panel are provided. A plurality of perforations are formed substantially entirely through the module which form a ventilation mechanism allowing heat to be transferred from the front side of the module to the rear side of the module. The perforations may be formed at a number of different stages in the manufacture of the module. Tubular reinforcements such as eyelets may be placed within the holes, preferably when the encapsulating material is only partially cured. The photovoltaic module may be attached to a structural and thermally conductive substrate, with sufficient strength for module to be utilized as stand-alone panel or building-integrated façade panel, simultaneously containing a large heat exchange surface area and provision for turbulent air flow.
