Solon advised that it had recently finalized an exclusive worldwide licensing deal with Andersen for the use of its Fibrex material in the PV marketplace. The Fibrex vinyl technology is said to be highly durable, stiff, moisture and heat resistant, non-conductive and provides thermal insulating properties.

The companies noted Fibrex’s characteristics allow PV products to be free from grounding and can help diminish heating and cooling requirements. Furthermore, the material itself is said to be lightweight and sustainable, having 40% pre-consumer reclaimed wood fibre in its construction.
