SOLAR CELL MODULE WITH HIGH ELECTRIC SUSCEPTIBILITY LAYER

A solar cell (1 OOA) module includes solar cells (101) that are encased in a protective package and a high electric susceptibility layer (220) that is placed on the solar cells (101). The high electric susceptibility layer (220) is polarized such that a sheet charge is developed at the interface of the high electric susceptibility layer (220) and the solar cells ( 101 ). The protective package includes an encapsulant (223) that encapsulates the solar cells (101). The encapsulant (223) may be a multilayer encapsulant, with the high electric susceptibility layer (220)being a layer of the encapsulant (223). The high electric susceptibility layer (220) may also be a material that is separate from the encapsulant (223). FIG. 8
