NOVELTY - A laminate for electronic devices comprises: a first outer layer of weatherable film; at least one mid-layer selected from at least one of (i) poly(chlorotrifluoro ethylene), (ii) polymeric film coated on one or both surfaces with liquid crystal polymer, (iii) liquid crystal polymers; (iv) metal foil; and (v) polyester; and a second outer layer comprising ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The second outer layer contains an amount of opacifying pigment sufficient to make it substantially opaque.    USE - In photovoltaic modules (claimed). Also useful for protecting solar panels and circuit boards.    ADVANTAGE - The use of the present pigmented laminates as protective backing sheets in photovoltaic modules increases reflectivity, still leaving the surface of the cells exposed to incident light. The present laminates are used as simple and cost-effective protective backing sheets for photovoltaic modules, as opposed to solar batteries. The laminates are resistant to breakdown effects associated with exposure to environmental conditions, including UV and other bands of sunlight, heat, moisture, and electrical forces. The opacity and high concentration of white pigment in the EVA in the second outer layer provides excellent protection for the polyester mid-layer as well as increased permeability for gasses generated in the lamination process. The EVA in the second outer layer provides especially good bond strength to the encapsulants typically used for photovoltaic cells. The high concentration of the white pigment in the second outer layer of the laminate, when adjacent to the photovoltaic cells, also results in increased reflectivity of the construction, which results in higher power generation of the photovoltaic cells. When the present laminates are used as protective backing sheets for photovoltaic module, the use of the laminates will result in a number of advantages including boost the power output of the module, maximize the pathways for gases formed during the lamination process, the module laminate will remain aesthetically satisfactory over extended use, the laminate will provide effective protection for the current generated in the photovoltaic module, and the laminate will exhibit high dielectric strength.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a photovoltaic module comprising: photovoltaic cells; and a backing sheet comprising the first outer layer of weatherable polyester, the mid-layer, and the second outer layer comprising EVA.
