Dunmore advised of its newly added capacity for the manufacturing of solar backsheets, which incorporate DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions’ Tedlar polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film. The added capacity aims to give manufacturers a larger supply so that they can increase their production and diminish material inventory fluctuations across the industry.

The two companies started their partnership with Dunmore’s FastCert program, which endeavors to move products to market more efficiently by allowing solar module manufacturers to have their modules quickly certified by independent testing agencies such as Underwriter Laboratories.
