Abstract:
A photovoltaic module employing an array of photovoltaic cells disposed between two optically transparent substrates such as to define a closed-loop peripheral area of the module that does not contain a photovoltaic cell. The module is sealed with a peripheral seal along the perimeter; and is devoid of a structural element affixed to an optically transparent substrate and adapted to mount the module to a supporting structure. The two substrates may be bonded together with adhesive material and, optionally, the peripheral seal can include the adhesive material. The module optionally includes diffraction grating element(s) adjoining respectively corresponding PV-cell(s).

Claim (Index 1):
A photovoltaic (PV) module system comprising:\n a photovoltaic module having a first optically transparent substrate and a second optically transparent substrate bounding a cavity therebetween; a crystalline silicon PV cell located in said cavity between said first substrate and said second substrate; said PV cell being a first cell of a plurality of electrically interconnected PV cells disposed between said first substrate and said second substrate, a peripheral area around said plurality of electrically interconnected PV cells lacking a PV cell and defining a closed band, a width of said closed band corresponding to a difference between a transverse dimension of the PV module and a transverse dimension of plurality of electrically interconnected PV cells; and a sealing material disposed in said cavity between said first substrate and said second substrate around a perimeter of said PV module to provide a substantially moisture proof seal around said perimeter of said PV module and sealingly affixing said first substrate to said second substrate.
