(WO200002257-A1)   NOVELTY - A photovoltaic module (1) in the form of a laminate with a solar cell system (2) as the core between encapsulating materials (3, 3'), in which at least one of these materials (3') comprises a sealing layer (4') and a barrier layer (6) consisting of a plastic film or compound foil with an inorganic oxide layer (7) deposited from the vapor phase.    USE - For the production of electrical energy from sunlight, e.g. in emergency telephones, camper vans, buildings with integrated roof and cladding systems, large-scale units and solar power stations.    ADVANTAGE - A photovoltaic module with high transparency in the visible/near UV regions and a good blocking action against short-wave UV, which is resistant to weathering and also essentially impermeable to water vapor, but without showing the disadvantage associated with prior-art aluminum barrier layers (i.e. stray currents due to the conductivity of the metal).
