Oversized back panel for photovoltaic devices

摘要: Thin film photovoltaic devices including a transparent substrate defining front surface area; thin stack on the substrate; and, back panel rear area are provided. The is positioned between and panel. can be less than (e.g., about 90% to 99.9% of area). As such, extend farther along at least one edge device. An encapsulant layer an greater or equal area.
