Solar power panel factory and process for manufacturing frame-less encapsulated photo-voltaic (PV) solar power panels by encapsulating solar cell modules within optically-transparent epoxy-resin material coating phenolic resin support sheets

摘要

A solar panel factory system and process for manufacturing a frame-less epoxy-resin encapsulated solar panel by encapsulating solar cell modules within optically-transparent epoxy-resin material coating phenolic resin support sheets. During solar panel manufacture, an optically transparent epoxy-resin coating is applied over an array of photo-voltaic (PV) solar cell modules mounted on a sheet of phenolic resin, and supported in a layer of adhesive coating is applied as a liquid with a viscosity and a thickness such that the thickness of the layer of adhesive coating is substantially equal to the thickness of the PV solar cell modules, and cured to a sufficient hardness. The epoxy-resin coating applied over the array of PV solar cell modules, and the cured layer of adhesive coating, reinforce the strength of the sheet of phenolic resin, particularly around the perimeter of the sheet of phenolic resin.
