Abstract
A multilayer film comprises a layer consisting essentially of a fluorinated copolymer resin and a layer consisting essentially of an ethylene copolymer ionomer blend. The ethylene copolymer ionomer blend, or the product of crosslinking the blend, can be used as an encapsulant layer for solar cells, and the multilayer film is useful as a component of photovoltaic modules. Methods for preparing the multilayer films and the photovoltaic modules are also described.
