Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) laminates employ single polymer composites (SPCs). The SPCs may be located at various locations of the PV laminate. These locations may include being positioned as an entire back-sheet of the PV laminate as well as, as a portion of a back-sheet or other layer of the PV laminate. The SPCs may be positioned and configured in the PV laminate so as to reduce tensile and compressive forces developed on PV cells from live normal loads or other live loads or dead loads experienced by the PV laminate. The SPCs can serve to reduce the weight of a PV laminate as well as to assist in having PV cells lie along the neutral axis of the PV laminate.
