The invention relates to a photovoltaic module for capturing and using solar radiation having as a transparent glazing a thermoplastic structural component covered by a thin polyvinylidene fluoride layer. The polyvinylidene fluoride layer is exposed to the environment and provides a chemical resistant and dirt shedding surface. The structure may contain a tie layer between the polyvinylidene fluoride layer and the structural thermoplastic to aid in adhesion. |
