The invention relates to curable polyorganosiloxane compositions for the use as an encapsulant for a solar cell module, in particular, for the encapsulation of photovoltaic modules, cured polyorganosiloxane composition made therefrom and photovoltaic modules comprising the same as encapsulant.

Amorphous coatings and coated articles having amorphous coatings are disclosed. The amorphous coating comprises a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being proximal to a metal substate compared to the second layer, the second layer being distal from the metal substrate compared to the first layer. The first layer and the second layer comprise carbon, hydrogen, and silicon. The first layer further comprises oxygen.
