Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A photovoltaic panel is formed by providing a plurality of photovoltaic cells electrically connected by interconnect structures between a front-side insulating sheet extending over the plurality of photovoltaic cells and a backside insulating sheet extending under the plurality of photovoltaic cells, adjoining an edge portion of the front-side insulating sheet to an edge portion of the backside insulating sheet in an adhesion region, and folding at least one of the front-side insulating sheet or the backside insulating sheet over peripheral photovoltaic cells of the plurality of photovoltaic cells.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A photovoltaic panel, comprising: a plurality of photovoltaic cells electrically connected by interconnect structures; a front-side insulating sheet extending over the plurality of photovoltaic cells; and a backside insulating sheet extending under the plurality of photovoltaic cells, wherein: an edge portion of the front-side insulating sheet is adjoined to an edge portion of the backside insulating sheet in an adhesion region, and at least one of the front-side insulating sheet or the backside insulating sheet is folded over peripheral photovoltaic cells of the plurality of photovoltaic cells; wherein the edge portion of the front-side insulating sheet is folded over a back side of the peripheral photovoltaic cells and over the backside insulating sheet. 2. A photovoltaic panel, comprising: a plurality of photovoltaic cells electrically connected by interconnect structures; a front-side insulating sheet extending over the plurality of photovoltaic cells; and a backside insulating sheet extending under the plurality of photovoltaic cells, wherein: an edge portion of the front-side insulating sheet is adjoined to an edge portion of the backside insulating sheet in an adhesion region, and at least one of the front-side insulating sheet or the backside insulating sheet is folded over peripheral photovoltaic cells of the plurality of photovoltaic cells; wherein the edge portion of the backside insulating sheet is folded over a front side of the peripheral photovoltaic cells and over the front-side insulating sheet.
