eva encapsulant

As demand for glass/glass modules increases, a rethink on encapsulant materials may be required, suggests Dow.

Dow Chemical’s polyolefin elastomer (POE) technology used for critical PV module encapsulation applications under its ‘ENGAGE’ POE brand are designed to provide improved electrical performance and moisture resistance.

Asia-based EVA encapsulant material producer HIUV New Materials said it successfully developed an encapsulant for N-type cell based PV modules that limits PID (Potential Induced Degradation).

DuPont, an industry leader in high-performance materials for photovoltaic panels, shares Bill of Materials (BoM) specification recommendations based on extensive field observations and laboratory testing.

This year saw Ghana not only install the largest solar project in East and West Africa, but also a major 30MW module manufacturing facility near its capital, Accra, in what is a major milestone for the upstream solar sector across Africa. PV Tech visited the plant to understand some of developer 3SIL's thinking behind location and business.

HIUV New Materials Co has successfully developed a high reflection rate encapsulant ‘S201W’ for conventional c-Si PV modules. By adding high quality TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) and using pre-crosslinking technology, S201W is porcelain white with above 90% high light reflection rate.
