Patent ID: 8859880

Claim:
A method for integrating a photovoltaic module, the method comprising: providing a cover plate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface; supplying at least two solar devices respectively formed on substrates, each of the at least two photovoltaic devices including a plurality of photovoltaic cells electrically coupled to each other, each cell being characterized by a thin-film photovoltaic layer sandwiched between a first electrode material and a second electrode material, the first electrode material overlying the substrate and the second electrode material overlying the thin-film photovoltaic layer; disposing the at least two solar devices side by side to laminate with the cover plate by means of a first organic material filled between the second electrode material and the second surface, each of the solar devices having a peripheral edge region being sealed by a second organic material; and electrically coupling the solar devices to each other.
