Abstract
The present teachings relate to a photovoltaic packaging comprising a polymer back layer, photovoltaic cells electrically connected to each other, a polymer front layer which is transparent to light, and which is configured to be connected to the polymer back layer by means of welding, wherein the photovoltaic cells are located between the front and back layer, the front and back layer being connected to each other by means of a welded connection, such that the photovoltaic cells is completely enclosed between the front layer and the back layer by the welded connection, surrounding the photovoltaic cells, and wherein each individual cell is separated from the remaining of the photovoltaic cells by the welded connection. The present teachings also relate to a method of manufacturing, and to a solar panel.
