NOVELTY - The photovoltaic module comprises a front transparency (102), a first fluid encapsulant deposited on a portion of the front transparency, electrically interconnected photovoltaic cells (120) positioned on the first fluid encapsulant, and a topcoat (104) deposited on a portion of the photovoltaic cells. The first fluid encapsulant comprises 50-100% of solids coating composition, and a liquid silicone coating. The photovoltaic cells comprise crystalline silicon wafers. The topcoat comprises inorganic particles. The photovoltaic module further comprises a primer.    USE - Used as photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - The light-weight photovoltaic module exhibits excellent durability, moisture barrier properties and abrasion resistance and good resistance to corrosion and adhesion, and can be manufactured with less labor intensive and improved production efficiency and without vacuum lamination steps so that production time and costs are reduced.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The photovoltaic module comprises a front transparency (102), a first fluid encapsulant deposited on a portion of the front transparency, electrically interconnected photovoltaic cells (120) positioned on the first fluid encapsulant, and a topcoat (104) deposited on a portion of the photovoltaic cells. The first fluid encapsulant comprises 50-100% of solids coating composition, and a liquid silicone coating. The photovoltaic cells comprise crystalline silicon wafers. The topcoat comprises inorganic particles. The photovoltaic module further comprises a primer positioned between the topcoat and the photovoltaic cells, and a second fluid encapsulant positioned between the photovoltaic cells and the topcoat. The primer is further positioned between the second fluid encapsulant and the topcoat. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for producing a photovoltaic module.
