NOVELTY - An encapsulation of a photovoltaic module comprises: a first encapsulant (130) covering a photovoltaic cell array (120) on a front substrate (110), where the first encapsulant has good optical clarity and moderate tensile strength; and a second encapsulant (140) covering peripheral part of the front substrate, where the peripheral part surrounds the photovoltaic cell array, the second encapsulant has good waterproofness and resistivity, and the second encapsulant does not contain desiccant material.    USE - For encapsulation of a photovoltaic module (claimed) such as solar modules or solar panels, used to protect the photovoltaic cells.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic (PV) module encapsulated with first encapsulant has good optical clarity and moderate tensile strength, and with second encapsulant has good waterproofness and resistivity, so as to protect the PV module from being damaged by various outdoor factors, such as rains or humidity, temperature, thunders, and some other external forces.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a photovoltaic module, comprising: a front substrate; a photovoltaic cell array on the front substrate; a first encapsulant covering the photovoltaic cell array; a second encapsulant covering peripheral part of the front substrate, where the peripheral part surrounds the photovoltaic cell array, and the second encapsulant does not contain desiccant material; and a back substrate covering the first and the second encapsulants; and    (2) encapsulating a photovoltaic module, involving: applying a first encapsulant onto a photovoltaic cell array on a front substrate; applying a second encapsulant onto peripheral part of the front substrate, where the peripheral part surrounds the photovoltaic cell array, and the second encapsulant does not contain desiccant material; and laminating a back substrate on the first encapsulant and the second encapsulant.
