1. A method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module comprising at least one photovoltaic cell, the manufacturing method comprising a step of encapsulating the photovoltaic cell comprising the formation of a stack comprising:
the photovoltaic cell,
an encapsulation film based on a polymer material crosslinked at least at its gel point, and
an adhesion layer based on a crosslinkable polymer material, the adhesion layer being configured to bond the encapsulation film to the photovoltaic cell,
wherein the manufacturing method comprises:
a crosslinking step comprising crosslinking of the crosslinkable polymer material of the adhesion layer, and
a step of forming the adhesion layer on the encapsulation film before bringing the adhesion layer into contact with the photovoltaic cell.
