Innovations in Polymer Materials for Photovoltaic Solar Panel Applications"


Photovoltaic (PV) solar market is growing leaps and bounds with increasing demand for cleaner, renewable energy. China alone is home to hundreds of manufacturing plants churning out solar panels and modules; supplying half the world's supply of PV solar cells. PV manufactures on the other hand face crucial challenges to meet increased efficiency, performance and durability.

The role of polymers in the manufacturing of solar modules is extensive. Polymers have flexible properties and commercial availability making it cost effective and reliable. From backsheets to encapsulants to sealants and adhesives, polymers are continuously being improved and enhanced to meet higher standards and requirements.

"A small number of companies are developing plastics from sustainable resources, such as plants not used as food sources, for photovoltaic cells, which are on the verge of an explosive growth burst."

Feb 2010, Design News

"Dow Chemical will begin producing polyolefin encapsulant films for polycrystalline silicon and thin-film photovoltaic modules. The films are company's first PV encapsulant products and provide better module protection and improved electrical performance compared with traditional encapsulants used in solar applications."
Sept 2010, Chemical Week
