Method for producing photovoltaic thin film module
First Claim
1. Process for producing a photovoltaic thin film module (1, 10) which has a thin film solar cell system (2) which has been applied to carrier materials (3, 11) and which is optionally jacketed on both sides by encapsulation material composites (4, 4′
- ), characterized in that in a lamination step the material web for the encapsulation material composite (4, 4′
) consisting of a protective layer (8, 9) and a sealing layer is brought near another material web for the thin film solar cell system (2) and its carrier material (3, 11) in a lamination station such that the sealing layer (5) adjoins the thin film solar cell system (2) and that by increased pressure and optionally increased temperature a composite in the form of a photovoltaic module (1, 10) is formed.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a photovoltaic thin film module (1) which is provided with a thin film solar cell system (2) that is mounted on carrier materials (3) and is covered with a compound (4) on at least one side of the surface, whereby said compound consists of an encapsulating material and is provided with a sealing layer (5) on the side of the surface thereof, said side being arranged on the thin film solar cell system (2). According to a covering method, the encapsulating material (4) and the thin film solar cell system (2), together with the carrier (3), are guided along one another and are pressed under pressure and at an increased temperature in such a way that a weather-proof, photovoltaic thin film module in the form of a compound (1) is designed. According to a method that can be carried out easily, a photovoltaic thin film module that is resistant to UV light, water vapour and other effects of the weather is provided. The photovoltaic module can additionally be provided with flexible characteristics by selecting the carrier material in such a way that said material is configured in the form of plastic foils or plastic foil compounds for instance.
