Abstract
A solar cell module is manufactured by encapsulating a solar cell matrix comprising a plurality of electrically connected solar cell components between a transparent panel and a backsheet with a resin. The method involves (i) embossing opposite surfaces of a green silicone rubber sheet, (ii) arranging a transparent panel (), silicone rubber sheet (), solar cell matrix (), silicone rubber sheet (), and backsheet () to form a multilayer assembly, and (iii) heating and compressing the assembly for vacuum lamination for establishing a seal around the solar cell matrix.
