FLEXcon has expanded its solar module backsheet ‘multiGUARD’ offering with the addition of Black/White and Black/Black products. The new, more aesthetically pleasing black backsheet products appeal to the high-end commercial market and a much greater portion of the residential market.

Problem

As PV installations are more commonly integrated into the design of commercial and residential projects. FLEXcon’s expanded backsheet offering enhances the options for solar module manufacturers to produce solutions that tailor to the needs of a much broader market base.

Solution

FLEXcon’s multiGUARD brand, a range of backsheets for photovoltaic modules, stands for multiple guarding properties – engineered to protect against moisture and humidity and provide superior partial discharge and high voltage insulation for proper functioning of the module. FLEXcon’s line of backsheet products are designed to meet stringent industry standards and regulations.

Applications

C-Si solar cell backsheet protection.

Platform

Typically constructed in 12 mm backsheet that offers advantages of Kynar ¬material protection against harsh weather conditions. It features a polyester inner layer which provides optimum electrical insulation and promotes ease of handling through the module manufacturing process, and an EVA layer which provides optimum adhesion to encapsulants. FLEXcon’s existing white backsheet offering, which includes double fluoropolymer (TPT and KPK), single fluoropolymer (TPE and KPE) and non-fluoropolymer (PPE), is ideal for solar farms, commercial and residential installations.

Availability

Currently available.
