NOVELTY - The core has three polyethylene terephthalate layers (1, 2, 10), a photovoltaic cell string (3), four ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer layers (4, 5, 6, 9), an aluminum-based integrated plate (7) and a high temperature resistant insulating tape (8) that are cascaded in turn from down to up, laminated and encapsulated with each other. The aluminum-based integrated plate is formed as a polymer coated aluminum-based integrated plate. The high temperature resistant insulating tape is formed as a polyimide tape.    USE - High-performance insulating hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar panel core for use in renewable energy source application products such as solar water pumps, hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar building elements and solar heating systems.    ADVANTAGE - The core allows the aluminum-based integrated plate to achieve better light transmission as the plate is made of transparent polyethylene terephthalate, and contains the high temperature resistant insulating tape to completely enclose an edge of the aluminum-based integrated plate so as to enhance insulation of an assembly of the core, so that incident light is prevented from being obstructed by a solar panel and heat on solar cells can be taken away by a collector core effectively, thus reducing loss of power generation efficiency resulted from temperature rising of the solar panel. The core can be applied to renewable energy source application products so as to improve aesthetics and insulation of a product.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for manufacturing a high-performance insulating hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar panel core.
