Application: Photovoltaic module (Patent ID: US20240072186A1)
The patent filed by Kyocera Corp. describes a photovoltaic module with a front protective layer, back protective layer, solar cells, and a filler. The front protective layer is light-transmissive, while the back protective layer faces the solar cells. The filler, containing a material generating a free acid, covers the solar cells. The front protective layer is made of a weather-resistant resin, with part of its surface exposed externally. Additionally, the front protective layer may include a fluorine resin, such as fluorinated ethylene propylene, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, or ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene. The module may also have a protective film on the first surface and microthrough-holes extending through the front protective layer.
Furthermore, the photovoltaic module may have a front protective layer with microthrough-holes, a weather-resistant property, and exposure of part of the first surface externally. This design ensures efficient light transmission and protection for the solar cells. The inclusion of a filler generating a free acid enhances the module's performance, while the use of a weather-resistant resin and fluorine resin improves durability. The protective film and microthrough-holes provide additional protection and functionality to the module, making it a comprehensive solution for solar energy generation.
