- the first material layer 21 is connected over its entire surface to a second material layer 22 made of polyvinyl butyral. This serves to moisture access and thus a premature
- the photovoltaic cells 3 can be embedded on an optional intermediate layer 4, which may likewise consist of polyvinyl butyral or contains this material.
- the intermediate layer 4 can thus be welded to the transparent cover layer 2 in the edge region of the photovoltaic cells 3, in order to achieve a particularly tight closure.
- the intermediate layer 4 can also serve in this case to absorb mechanical stresses at different thermal expansion.
- FIG. 5 shows a thermal insulation layer 5 which, as described above, may consist of a hard foam.
- a mechanical stiffening 55 may be embedded, for example in the form of a box girder, an I-beam or a U-beam.
- the reinforcing element 55 may have a smaller cross section than the thermal insulation layer 5, so that the carrier Layer 6 is not in contact with the mechanical stiffening element.
- the conclusion on the inside of the photovoltaic module in turn forms a support layer 6 made of aluminum, steel or plastic as described above.
