NOVELTY - A photovoltaic module comprises first and second protective sheets; an edge sealant (502) disposed between the two sheets, where the edge sealant and the two sheets thus define a moisture resistant protective shell; solar cell(s) (501A-501L) having a front light receiving side and a back substrate side, and disposed within the shell; a support material at least partially encapsulating the solar cell on both the front light receiving side and the back substrate side of the solar cell; and a divider sealant (503) disposed between the two sheets and within the shell.    USE - A photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic module has improved reliability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A photovoltaic module comprises a first protective sheet; a second protective sheet; an edge sealant (502) disposed between the first and second protective sheets and continuously along an edge, where the edge sealant and the two protective sheets thus define a moisture resistant protective shell; solar cell(s) (501A-501L) having a front light receiving side and a back substrate side, and disposed within the moisture resistant protective shell; a support material that at least partially encapsulates the solar cell on both the front light receiving side and the back substrate side of the solar cell; and a divider sealant (503) disposed between the two protective sheets and within the moisture resistant protective shell. The divider sealant divides the moisture resistant protective shell into at least two moisture resistant sealed sections (505). The edge sealant and the divider sealant are resistive to moisture transmission, and are made from a material and constructed so that a water vapor transmission rate through each of the edge sealant and the divider sealant is less than 0.001 g/m2/day. The solar cells are group IBIIIAVIA thin film solar cells with stainless steel substrate. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of manufacturing a solar cell module.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing is a schematic view of the photovoltaic module.
