Abstract:
A lightweight photovoltaic module including: a first transparent layer forming the front face; photovoltaic cells; an assembly encapsulating the photovoltaic cells; and a second layer forming the rear face and containing an inner surface and an outer surface. The encapsulating assembly and the photovoltaic cells are located between the first and second layers. The module is characterized in that: the first layer is made from glass and/or polymer material and has a thickness that is less than or equal to 1.1 mm; the inner surface is substantially planar; and the second layer includes raised portions projecting from the outer surface, the outer surface and raised portions together defining the visible rear outer surface of the photovoltaic module.

Claim (Index 1):
A photovoltaic module, comprising:\n a first transparent layer forming the front face of the photovoltaic module, that will receive a light flux, a plurality of photovoltaic cells arranged side by side and electrically connected together, an assembly encapsulating the plurality of photovoltaic cells, a second layer forming the rear face of the photovoltaic module the second layer comprising an inner surface in contact with the encapsulating assembly, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface, the encapsulating assembly and the plurality of photovoltaic cells being located between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the first layer is made of glass and/or at least one polymer material and its thickness is less than or equal to 1.1 mm, wherein the inner surface of the second layer is approximately plane, and wherein the second layer also comprises raised portions above the outer surface of the second layer, the outer surface and the raised portions together defining the visible outer rear surface of the photovoltaic module the relief of the outer surface of the second layer being in the form of elongated ribs.
