Abstract

The present invention discloses a dust-proof and weather resistant photovoltaic module, including (a) a front substrate of light transmittable safety glass plate, wherein a photo-catalyst composition is applied to the safety glass plate; (b) a back substrate of weather resistant polyester polymer; and (c) a photosensitizer including electrical circuit copper foils and polymeric enclosing material (EVA) which is located between the front substrate and the back substrate. The method for fabricating a front substrate of a photovoltaic module includes applying a photo-catalyst composition onto a safety glass plate; evaporating the photo-catalyst composition to a gel; and seating the gel to Rutile titanium dioxide. The photo-catalyst composition includes a metal oxide, an acid regent and a surfactant.
