Saint-Gobain Solar has launched a high-performance silicone membrane designed to withstand the 155°C PV module lamination process.
The French company claims the SolarBond Membrane resists EVA outgassing, can last up to 6,000 cycles, eliminates the risk of ghosting on the module, and performs significantly better than product alternatives in volatile organic content tests.
“As the solar industry continues to grow in several regions, it will be crucial for module manufacturers to further reduce costs and streamline production efficiency in order to remain competitive,” the company’s renewable energy market manager Geoffrey King said.
Saint-Gobain Solar is at booth B7/B42 at this week’s EU PVSEC in Hamburg.
