Abstract
The present invention relates to a photovoltaic element, comprising a front layer, a back layer, and a plurality of photovoltaic cells, which photovoltaic cells are present between the front layer and back layer, wherein the front layer consists of a polypropylene composition, comprising: a) a random polypropylene resin; b) a mixture of light stabilizing additives; said mixture comprising: i) a high molecular weight hindered tertiary amine light stabilizer (t-HM-HAL S) having a weight average molecular weight of at least 1600 g/mol; ii) a low molecular weight hindered secondary amine light stabilizer (s-LM-HALS) having a weight average molecular weight of below 1000 g/mol; iii) an ultraviolet synergist, being a n-alkyl-3,5-dialkylated 4-hydroxybenzoate; iv) an ultraviolet absorber, being a hydroxybenzotriazole compound or a hydroxyl benzophenone compound or a mixture thereof; c) a mixture of antioxidant additives; said mixture comprising: i) a phenolic antioxidant; and ii) a phosphite additive. The invention also relates to a polypropylene composition and to the use thereof as front layer.
