A system including a solar module installed on a roof deck, including a superstrate layer, an encapsulant having an upper layer and a lower layer, and a photovoltaic layer intermediate the upper layer and the lower layer of the encapsulant. An upper surface of the superstrate layer includes an indentation pattern. The indentation pattern includes a mesh of indentations indented into the upper surface of the superstrate layer and a plurality of openings defined by the mesh of indentations.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy conversion devices, which provides an rGO-PEI/PVDF pyroelectric thin film, and the method for preparing the film, as well as a self-energized bracelet produced based on such film, which utilizes the reduced graphite oxide after modified by polyethyleneimine (PEI) (rGO-PEI) as photothermal conversion material, and the silver-plated polarized polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film as pyroelectric conversion material. The rGO-PEI photothermal material is fixed to the surface of the PVDF through a transparent film, and prepare the self-energized bracelet based on it. The obtained bracelet has an output power of up to 21.3 mW/m2, and does not require additional mechanical devices to control the temperature during operation, wherein, the thermoelectric conversion, rectification, storage and application are realized through temperature fluctuation produced by absorbing sunlight during doing outdoor sports, utilizing temperature difference of air flow, and sweeping gesture, etc.

A breathable film includes a substrate, a membrane disposed on the substrate, and an adhesive interposed between the substrate and the membrane.
