NOVELTY - The process comprises providing a solar cell pre-laminate assembly comprising a solar cell component, and laminating the pre-laminate assembly to form a solar cell module by subjecting the assembly to heat and optionally under vacuum. The solar cell component comprises solar cells and an encapsulant film or sheet essentially consisting of a non-neutralized acid copolymer composition prepared from an non-neutralized acid copolymer of an alpha olefin such as ethylene and alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid (15-25 wt.%) having 3-8C.    USE - The process is useful for manufacturing a solar cell module.    ADVANTAGE - The process is capable of effectively manufacturing the solar cell module with high flexibility.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The process comprises providing a solar cell pre-laminate assembly comprising a solar cell component, and laminating the pre-laminate assembly to form a solar cell module by subjecting the assembly to heat and optionally under vacuum. The solar cell component comprises solar cells and an encapsulant film or sheet essentially consisting of a non-neutralized acid copolymer composition prepared from an non-neutralized acid copolymer of an alpha olefin such as ethylene and alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid (15-25 wt.%) having 3-8C, based on the total weight of the acid copolymer. The acid copolymer has a melt index of greater than 100-400 g/10 min, and organic peroxide (0.5-3 wt.%), based upon the total weight of the acid copolymer composition. The polymeric film or sheet has a thickness of 0.1-20 mils. The acid copolymer composition further comprises a silane coupling agent (0.01-5 wt.%) based on the total weight of the acid copolymer composition. The assembly contains an additional layer consisting of glass, other polymeric interlayer sheets, polymeric film layers, and metal films or sheets, and comprises an incident layer that is formed of a transparent material and serves as an outer layer at the light-receiving side of the assembly, a backing layer that is formed of glass, a plastic film or sheet, or a metal film or sheet and serves as an outer layer at the back side of the assembly, and a second polymeric encapsulant layer that is positioned next to the solar cell component on the opposite side from the encapsulant polymeric film or sheet.
