This work focuses on the development of a lightweight, glass-free photovoltaic (PV) module (6 kg/m 2) composed of a composite sandwich back-structure and a polymeric front layer. Sandwich structures are usually manufactured with a vacuum bag process and thermosetting liquid glues (e.g. epoxy resin).

For instance, Zhang et al. [123] developed a lightweight photovoltaic composite structure (LPCS) according to the characteristics of the stratospheric airship capsule. In order
In a previous work , it was demonstrated the possibility to produce a lightweight PV module with a weight of 5 kg/m 2, by substituting the typical front glass with a thin polymer sheet and the standard backsheet by a composite sandwich structure.
Module design Our glass-free lightweight PV modules are composed of two main components: (i) the composite backsheet (skins / sandwich adhesive / core) and (ii) the frontsheet (encapsulant foil / solar cells / polymeric frontsheet).
With the aim of limiting the weight while preserving excellent mechanical stability and durability properties, we propose a new design for lightweight crystalline-silicon (c-Si) PV modules in which the conventional polymer backsheet (or glass) is replaced by a composite sandwich structure, and the frontsheet by a transparent polymer foil.
Thermo-mechanical and electrical stability of lightweight PV modules based on PO and aluminum core The strongest and most stable composite sandwich structure developed in this study (polyolefin-based sandwich with an aluminum honeycomb core) is selected to produce two-cell modules.
This work presents the development of a robust glass-free PV module based on a composite sandwich architecture manufactured with a simple process. To simplify the production, the standard thermoset epoxy is substituted by different PV encapsulant foils (EVA, ionomer, polyolefin).
In a previous study , it was shown that ionomer is a suitable sandwich adhesive for producing lightweight PV modules due to its favorable mechanical properties under TC and DH. However, when the composite sandwiches are mechanically loaded at 80 °C, a strong decrease of sandwich bending stiffness is observed.
