NOVELTY - The photovoltaic system (100) comprises a film (106) coated with a first UV-curable coating (108), a photovoltaic device (102), a securing mechanism, and a second UV-curable coating applied to an opposing side of the film. The UV-curable coating comprises a urethane acrylate blend (91%), a montmorillonite platelet (5%), a light stabilizer (0.5%), a UV absorber (0.5%), and a photoinitiator (3%), is transparent to visible and near infrared light, provides a barrier to oxygen and moisture, and adheres to the film. The securing mechanism secures the film to the photovoltaic device.    USE - The photovoltaic system is useful for generating energy (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic system can be energy efficiently and economically manufactured with reduced size and high durability, and is easy to maintain.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The photovoltaic system (100) comprises a film (106) coated with a first UV-curable coating (108), a photovoltaic device (102), a securing mechanism, and a second UV-curable coating applied to an opposing side of the film. The UV-curable coating comprises a urethane acrylate blend (91%), a montmorillonite platelet (5%), a light stabilizer (0.5%), a UV absorber (0.5%), and a photoinitiator (3%), is transparent to visible and near infrared light, provides a barrier to oxygen and moisture, and adheres to the film. The securing mechanism secures the film to the photovoltaic device. The coating has a transmittance of 92%. The securing mechanism comprises an optically transparent adhesive (104). The UV absorber permits radiation of predetermined ranges of wavelengths to transmit through the UV-curable coating. The predetermined ranges of wavelengths correspond to ranges of wavelengths having peak response for a predetermined photoinitiator. The photoinitiator includes a transmittance spectrum with a range of low transmittance of 200-300 nm, a range of increasing transmittance of 300-380 nm, and a range of high transmittance of greater than or equal to 380 nm. The UV absorber includes a transmittance spectrum with a range of low transmittance of 290-350 nm, a range of increasing transmittance of 350-380 nm, and a range of high transmittance of greater than or equal to 380 nm. The film includes a transmission versus wavelength plot including a low transmission region, an increasing transmission region and a high transmission region. The increasing transmission region of the transmission versus wavelength plot for the film extends in a range of 370-430 nm. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for generating energy through photovoltaics; and    (2) an UV-curable coating.
