NOVELTY - The module (1000) has a mask tape (140) applied on a conductor bar (120) arranged within peripheral edge regions. An edge seal material (130) is arranged within the peripheral edge regions in vicinity of the mask tape and an end region of a glass substrate (100). A top glass panel (160) i.e. cap unit, is placed overlying thin-film photovoltaic cells (110), the mask tape and the edge seal material. A reflector structure (210) comprises angled surfaces (211) that facilitate scattering of incoming sunlight from the vicinities of the peripheral edge regions to the photovoltaic cells.    USE - Monolithically integrated thin-film photovoltaic cell based framed/frameless solar module for large area solar energy farm in wild field. Can also be used for residential and commercial rooftops and carports.    ADVANTAGE - The module has the edge seal material that is an insulation material e.g. butyl rubber, ethylene vinyl acetate, thermoplastic olefin and thermoplastic, having a chemically inert property and physical density to prevent environmentally caused corrosion and device degradation in an effective manner. The module allows incoming sun light to be illuminated over a peripheral edge region of a frameless solar module such that the major portion of the incoming sun light can be scattered back from the mask tape or the edge seal material itself, and can be re-directed toward the photovoltaic active regions, thus enhancing solar energy production efficiency by increasing the photovoltaic active area in an effective manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for facilitating solar module lamination with enhanced edge reflection.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross-sectional view of a framed solar module with edge reflection enhancement.
