More Information
Summary:A solar electric module having a layered construction including a light reflecting layer and light transmitting materials that encapsulate the solar cells of the module. The solar electric module provides weight mitigation and/or moisture control features. The weight mitigation feature provides for weight mitigation layers of a polymer or other light transmitting material reducing the volume of glass in a transparent top cover, while providing an increased distance between the light reflecting layer and the transparent top cover. The increased distance supports increased spacing between solarcells. The moisture control feature provides perforations in a reflective coating and/or reflecting layer to support migration of moisture into and out of the encapsulating layers of light transmitting materials.
