Photovoltaic module having scattering patterns

A photovoltaic module (1) having photovoltaic cells (2) positioned in a space between a front and a back sheet (4, 5), the space comprising an encapsulant material (6). A plurality of ribbons (3) provide an electrical interconnection of the photovoltaic cells (2). A scattering layer (7) is present 5 having a radiation scattering pattern with first and/or second surface areas (7a, 7b), in combination with third surface areas (7c). The first surface areas (7a) are aligned above the ribbons (3), and the second surface areas (7b) with spaces between adjacent photovoltaic cells (2). The third surface areas (7c) are aligned with a perimeter surface area of the photovoltaic module (1) outside of a surface area formed by the photovoltaic cells (2). Furthermore, a method 10 for assembling a photovoltaic module (1) comprises printing the radiation scattering pattern on a surface ofthe front sheet (4) and/or back sheet (5).
