Dow Chemical’s ‘ENLIGHT’ polyolefin films, recently launched for c-Si module applications have had claims of no power loss after 10,000 hours of operation validated in test carried-out by TÜV Rheinland.
“This is another step – an important one – that continues to validate the performance of ENLIGHT films for use in crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell technology,” commented Mark Hofius, leader of the R&D team.”
