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). A scattering layer (7) is present 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 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). The scattering layer (7) comprises a plurality of strips and a plurality of interruptions (8) between one or more of the plurality of strips. Furthermore, a method for assembling a photovoltaic module (1) comprises printing the radiation scattering pattern on a surface of the front sheet (4) and/or back sheet (5).
