NOVELTY - Forming a photovoltaic cell module with improved impact resistance involves: (A) contacting a hydrosilylation-curable silicone composition and/or a cured silicone gel with an organosilicon compound comprising at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule to cure via a hydrosilylation reaction and form the silicone elastomer disposed on the first layer; and (B) disposing the second elastomer opposite the silicone elastomer and on the crystalline photovoltaic cell.    USE - The method is useful for forming photovoltaic cell module with improved impact resistance (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - Photovoltaic cell module having improved impact resistance of greater than 1200 grams is provided.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Forming a photovoltaic cell module with improved impact resistance and comprising a first layer, a silicone elastomer disposed on the first layer, a crystalline photovoltaic cell disposed on the silicone elastomer, and a second elastomer disposed opposite the silicone elastomer and on the crystalline photovoltaic cell, involves: (A) contacting a hydrosilylation-curable silicone composition and/or a cured silicone gel with an organosilicon compound comprising at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule to cure via a hydrosilylation reaction and form the silicone elastomer disposed on the first layer; and (B) disposing the second elastomer opposite the silicone elastomer and on the crystalline photovoltaic cell, where the hydrosilylation-curable silicone composition comprises an organopolysiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule, an organohydrogensiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, and a hydrosilylation catalyst, and has a molar ratio of silicon hydride (SiH):alkenyl of less than about 1.2:1, and where the photovoltaic cell module has an impact resistance of greater than about 1200 grams. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a photovoltaic cell module having improved impact resistance and comprising: (A) a first layer; (B) a silicone elastomer disposed on the first layer and comprising the hydrosilylation reaction product of: (1) hydrosilylation-curable silicone composition and/or a cured silicone gel; and (2) an organosilicon compound comprising at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (C) a crystalline photovoltaic cell disposed on the silicone elastomer; and (D) a second elastomer disposed opposite the silicone elastomer and on the crystalline photovoltaic cell, where the hydrosilylation curable silicone composition comprises: (a) an organopolysiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded alkenyl groups per molecule; (b) an organohydrogensiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; and (c) a hydrosilylation catalyst, and having a molar ratio of SiH: alkenyl of less than about 1, and where the photovoltaic cell module has an impact resistance of greater than about 1200 grams.
