Photovoltaic module with light scattering encapsulant providing shingle-like appearance

A photovoltaic module has: a cover layer; an encapsulant having an upper layer and a lower layer, the upper layer juxtaposed with the lower surface of the capping layer; and a photovoltaic layer intermediate the upper layer and the lower layer of the encapsulant. A first portion of the upper layer of the encapsulant includes a first light scattering value measured according to the ASTM E430 standard, and a second portion of the upper layer of the encapsulant has a second light scattering value measured according to the ASTM E430 standard. The second light scattering value is greater than the first light scattering value. 一种光伏模块，具有：覆盖层；封装物，其具有上层和下层，该上层与覆盖层的下表面并置；和光伏层，其位于封装物的上层与下层中间。封装物的上层的第一部分包括根据ASTM E430标准测量的第一光散射值，并且封装物的上层的第二部分具有根据ASTM E430标准测量的第二光散射值。第二光散射值大于第一光散射值。
