The present application relates to an encapsulant for a PV module, a method of manufacturing the same and a PV module. The encapsulant according to an embodiment of the present application has excellent heat resistance or the like and improved creep physical properties, and thus even when the encapsulant is used under conditions of a high temperature and/or high humidity for a long time, deformation is small and the encapsulant can exhibit excellent adhesive strength. Accordingly, when the encapsulant is applied to a PV module, durability or the like may be improved.

According to one aspect of the invention, a film is produced comprising core layers of lower density m-LLDPE (e.g., 0.914 density or lower) and RCPP (a polypropylene resin comprising an ethylene content). By adding a RCPP further comprising a catalyzed metallocene, predefined desirable properties are enhanced that improve the integrity of the film while assuring that performance requirements are achieved and maximized. According to a further aspect, PolylsoButlyene content is used to improve cling layer characteristics on both skins. According to still further aspects, the compositions and methods described herein result in master rolls, which typically comprise 70 gauge+ master roll content, having desired results achieved using only 45 gauge master roll.
