NOVELTY - The laminate (110) has a transparent cover layer positioned toward a front side of a photovoltaic module (100) directed toward sun during normal operation. An upper encapsulant layer is formed under the transparent cover layer. A set of photovoltaic solar cells (116) is placed under the upper encapsulant layer. A lower encapsulant layer is formed under the photovoltaic solar cells. The upper and lower encapsulant layers enclose the solar cells. A back layer is formed under the lower encapsulant layer. A bonding layer is formed between a sealing layer and the encapsulant layers.    USE - Laminate for a photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - The laminate allows a back sheet exhibiting certain qualities e.g. environmental protection, mechanical stiffness and electrical insulation, desirable for the photovoltaic module, which is deficient in encapsulant. The laminate provides volume resistivity of certain polyethylene having a value above 5 cross 1013 ohm-cm over a temperature range of minus 40 to 90 degree Celsius and beneficial effects on front surfaces of the solar cells, where polarization is inhibited, thus improving electrical insulating properties on a rear surface and efficiency of the laminate, while meeting performance specifications that enables further improvement. The laminate allows a multi-layer back sheet bonded to the encapsulant in which the back sheet includes an electrical insulator, multiple bonding layers, an environmental layer, a hybrid encapsulant-adhesive layer and the photovoltaic module that can be constructed with a laminate containing a particular encapsulant and a mono-layer film on underside of the laminate, so that the laminate can be constructed from an encapsulant-protective layer co-extrusion in an effective manner, thus eliminating a need to bond the encapsulant to the back sheet. The laminate provides a protective layer with simplified construction that can greatly reduce manufacturing cost. The laminate reduces energy cost provided by a photovoltaic solar system, complexity of components and weight of the system and increases performance of the system, thus reducing cost of materials and construction and increasing power obtained for same cost as unimproved system, and hence reducing shipping cost and manufacturing steps.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The back layer is made of glass that has white color and black color.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view of a photovoltaic module.
