A photovoltaic cell module, a photovoltaic array including at least two modules, and a method of forming the module are provided. The module includes a first outermost layer and a photovoltaic cell disposed on the first outermost layer. The module also includes a second outermost layer disposed on the photovoltaic cell and sandwiching the photovoltaic cell between the second outermost layer and the first outermost layer. The method of forming the module includes the steps of disposing the photovoltaic cell on the first outermost layer, disposing a silicone composition on the photovoltaic cell, and compressing the first outermost layer, the photovoltaic cell, and the second layer to form the photovoltaic cell module.

Photovoltaic cell module and method of forming

A composition includes: (I) an alkenyl functional, phenyl-containing polyorganosiloxane, an Si&#x2014;H functional phenyl-containing polyorganosiloxane, or a combination thereof; (II) a hydrogendiorganosiloxy terminated oligodiphenylsiloxane having specific molecular weight, an alkenyl-functional, diorganosiloxy-terminated oligodiphenylsiloxane having specific molecular weight, or a combination thereof; and (III) a hydrosilylation catalyst. A light emitting device is made by applying the composition onto a light source followed by curing. The composition provides a cured material with mechanical properties suited for use as an encapsulant for a light emitting device.
