Definitions
- Thin film PV elements have a polarity which spatially manifests as a top side having positive polarity and a bottom side negative polarity or vice versa.
- the thin film PV elements can be laminated on to the intermediate layer with their polarity in two orientations.
- the thin film PV elements can be laminated on to the intermediate layer with their polarity in two orientations.
- the method further comprises forming the cover layer from a top layer and at least one under layer, wherein the under layer is laminated on the thin film photovoltaic element.
- Figure 4 shows a block diagram of a process for manufacturing a covering film according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figures 5a - 5b show a cross section in a longitudinal direction of a covering film according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5c shows a top view of a covering film according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5e shows a cross section of a covering film according to an embodiment of the invention at line B - B' of figure 5c.
- the layers 101 , 102, 103 and 104 must be securely laminated.
- the laminating is preferably performed in different steps, starting with the substrate layer 101 and the intermediate layer 103.
- the choice of material for the intermediate layer 103 and cover layer is preferably a thermoplastic polyurethane, which allows reliable lamination, thereby encapsulating the PV element 102.
- the intermediate layer 103 can be completely molten.
- laminating pressure can be applied to layers 101 , 102, 103 and 104 undergoing lamination to provide a tight coupling of the layers. Additionally a vacuum can be applied in each respective step to the layers undergoing lamination to further evacuated any air and moist between the layers.
- cover layer 104 preferably a multi-layer aliphatic polyurethane film material is used, having at one side facing the PV element 102 and the intermediate layer 103 a hotmelt film ensuring reliable lamination to the PV element 102 and the intermediate layer 103.
- the top layer of the cover layer 104 facing away from the covering film 100 is preferably composed of a hardened polyurethane film which is weather and microbiologically resistant.
- This layer preferably also comprises UV resistant material.
- UV absorbers are ZnO, anti-oxidants, hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) such as bis (2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate (commercially available as Tinuvin 770®).
- HALS hindered amine light stabilizers
- Fig. 2 shows an arrangement 200 of a covering film for generating photovoltaic electrical energy 100 as roofing, wherein the covering film 100 is positioned on roof elements 201 .
- Figure 2 shows roof heat insulation elements 202 positioned between the covering film 100 and the roof elements 201 .
- Such roof insulation elements can for example be manufactured from expanded polyethylene foam.
- the covering film 100 is provided with two rows of PV elements with a single cover layer 104.
- Fig.4 shows a block diagram 400 of a method for manufacturing the covering film 100, 300 as described above.
- a substrate layer 101 is provided.
- Such substrate layer can be a film which is rolled off from a stock roll and subsequently laminated in a laminating device.
- the substrate layer has a composition such as PVC as described above.
- a third step 403 thin film PV elements 102 are laminated on top of the intermediate layer 103.
- the thin film PV elements have a size and are laminated on the intermediate layer 103 such that around all edges of the thin film PV elements 102 a portion of intermediate layer 103 is left uncovered allowing in a next step 404 the cover layer 104 to be laminated on top of the thin film PV elements 102 and the uncovered intermediate layer 103.
- a seal is formed between the intermediate layer 103 and the cover layer 104 by the lamination such that the thin film PV elements are fully encapsulated between the respective layers 103, 104.
- a temperature for the lamination is chosen such that the intermediate layer 103 and the cover layer 104, which both contain thermoplastic polyurethane, can intermingle and bond.
- the flaps 502 can extend horizontally through the covering film edge 506 in fig. 5b.
- Interconnection elements 501 and flaps 502 can be manufactured from copper. All interconnections between thin film PV elements 102, i.e. busbars 503a, 503b and interconnection elements 501 are laminated between intermediate layer 103 and cover layer 104 protecting them from oxidation or any other degradation from the environment wherein the covering film is applied.
- the lamination technique allows a seal between the flaps 502 and the inner parts of the covering film 500.
- the flaps 502 can be plated as to provide protection against oxidation or any other degradation from the environment.
- Fig. 5c shows a top view of a covering film 500 having interconnection elements 501 and an interconnection element 504 for interconnecting rows of thin film PV elements (not shown in detail) 506a and 506b.
- Interconnection element 504 can be a strip made for example from copper.
- Thin film PV elements have a polarity perpendicular to the plane of the thin film. Electrical current can be extracted from the thin film PV elements by means of the busbars 503a at the top level and 503b at the bottom level of the PV elements.
- the thin film PV elements in row 506a in have a first polarity with respect to their orientation in the covering film 500.
- the thin film PV elements in row 506b in have a reverse polarity with respect to their orientation in the covering film 500 and with respect to the polarity of thin film PV elements in row 506a.
- Fig. 5d shows a cross section of the covering film 500 at line A-A' of figure 5c. Space between interconnection element 501 and intermediate layer 103 can be filled with an additional insulation layer 505. From fig. 5d it is clear that the interconnection element 501 connects busbars 503b at the bottom side of the thin film PV element 102 at opposite sides. Thin film PV elements 507a and 507b correspond with rows 506a and 506b respectively and have reverse polarity relative to each other. Since the polarity is reversed between rows 506a and 506b and consequently elements 507a and 507b, the interconnection element 501 can be connected at the bottom busbars 503b of each thin film PV element 507a, 507b respectively.
- FIG. 6a shows a schematic representation of the series connection of thin film PV elements 507a, 507b and the connection in two rows 506a, 506b as described above.
- each PV element 507a in the first row 506a has a polarity 601 a, 601 b
- each PV element 507b has a reversed polarity 601 b respectively.
- Arrow 601 a indicates for example that a top side of a corresponding PV element 507a has an electrically negative potential with respect to its bottom side.
- arrow 601 b indicates for example that a top side of a corresponding PV element 507b has an electrically positive potential with respect to its bottom side.
- Each PV element in row 506a in figure 6a has the same negative potential 601 a and each PV element in row 506b in figure 6a has the same positive potential 601 b.
- connection 504 to row 506b can be made at the bottom level of the corresponding PV elements via busbars 503b.
- connection 504 can be fixed to the intermediate layer 103 as well as the connection elements 501 a and 501 b. In this way a mechanically secure and strong connection 504 can be made between the rows 506a and 506b and via connections 501 a, 501 b with external electrical leads.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un film de recouvrement pour production d'énergie électrique photovoltaïque (100), comprenant une couche de substrat (101), une couche intermédiaire (103) stratifiée sur le dessus de la couche de substrat (101), au moins un élément photovoltaïque à couches minces (102), une partie de la couche intermédiaire (103) entourant l'élément photovoltaïque à couches minces (102) non recouverte au niveau de tous les bords de l'élément photovoltaïque à couches minces, et une couche de recouvrement (104) stratifiée sur le dessus de l'élément photovoltaïque à couches minces (102) et de la couche intermédiaire non recouverte (103) entourant l'élément photovoltaïque à couches minces (102), des parties se chevauchant sur la couche intermédiaire (103) et la couche de recouvrement (104) ont un joint d'étanchéité stratifié thermiquement. La couche intermédiaire (103) comprend une composition d'un premier polyuréthane thermoplastique et d'un matériau compatible avec un matériau de la couche de substrat (101), et la couche de recouvrement (104) comprend un second polyuréthane thermoplastique qui est compatible avec le premier polyuréthane thermoplastique de la couche intermédiaire (103).
