PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH A CONTROLLED VACUUM, USE OF AN OXYGEN GETTER IN A PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A MODULE

摘要

The invention relates to a photovoltaic module (M) comprising an array of photovoltaic cells (1) arranged between a front plate (2) and a rear plate (3), with non-soldered contacts between cell interconnection means (11) and the cells, and a seal (4) for at least partially sealing the plates (2, 3) from gas and moisture, which seal defines an internal volume (5) that has an oxygen vacuum in relation to atmospheric pressure, characterized in that the internal volume comprises at least one oxygen getter (6). The invention also relates to the use of a getter in a photovoltaic module to maintain or create the vacuum. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a module.
