A building panel has a deep drawn transparent film having an inner face and a structure having solar cells on the inner face of the deep-drawn film. The structure has an inner face turned away from the film and an outer face on or closely juxtaposed with the inner face of the film. A reinforcement layer constituted as a mass of foamed granular particles is spread over the inner face of the structure in direct contact with the inner face of the structure without the interposition of an adhesive and is heat cured to the film.

The present disclosure is directed to a method of processing a solar cell device. The method comprises detecting at least one inconsistency at a surface of a semiconductor substrate having a solar cell active region formed therein. A deposition pattern is determined based on the location of the at least one inconsistency. A material is selectively deposited on the substrate according to the deposition pattern.

Provided is a cover plate and a photovoltaic module. The cover plate is configured to form a photovoltaic module together with a solar cell string, and the cover plate includes: at least one through hole provided in the cover plate and penetrating through the cover plate, a reinforced region surrounding the at least one through hole, and a flat region adjacent to the reinforced region; wherein a thickness of the cover plate in the reinforced region is greater than a thickness of the cover plate in the flat region. The cover plate and the photovoltaic module according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may solve the problem of poor load resistance capability of the cover plate.
