Abstract
Disclosed are a photovoltaic module, an integrated photovoltaic/photo-thermal module and a manufacturing method thereof. The photovoltaic module includes: a front glass plate (1), a first back plate (4), an adhesive layer (3) located between the front glass plate and the first back plate, and cell sheets (5) located in the adhesive layer. At least a hollow layer (2) is included between the front glass plate and the adhesive layer. Since the photovoltaic module and the integrated photovoltaic/photo-thermal module include the hollow layer, making the integrated photovoltaic/photo-thermal module itself has a partial heat insulation function without the need to add a front glass blocking plate or a hollow heat insulation layer directly in front of the light-receiving surface of the module, thereby simplifying the structure and manufacturing process of the integrated photovoltaic/photo-thermal module.
