New Polymers & Technology Breakthroughs to Meet | ||
"Asia Pacific photovoltaic (PV) markets continue to surge ahead of expectations, installing 2.8 GW in Q4'11 anda total of 6 GW in FY'11. The region as a whole grew 165% Y/Y, and is forecast to grow an additional 40% in2012.." Jan 2012, Solarbuzz
Asia is a blistering solar market with China emerging as the dominant force in the region. On par with this growth, the solar module industry is developing new materials and technologies enabling greater efficiency. Polymers are key materials that have a decisive role in making solar modules durable, flexible, light-weight and cost effective.
"... much larger revenues for flexible substrate makers will come from the BIPV sector. Substrates for flexiblesolar panels will account for US$536 mln in 2017."
"Scientists from Singapore's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE)have created a new polymerwith both high charge mobility and high power conversion efficiency for application in both plastic electronics and organic solar cells." August 2011, A*STAR
"In most cases, glass is used to protect the active layers of the solar cells from environmentalinfluences...Instead of working with individual glass plates, the solar cells could be printed onto a plastic film and then encapsulated with the barrier film: photovoltaic modules on a roll." May 2011, Science Daily
CMT's 3rd Polymer Apps in PV is the platform for module technologists, polymer material developers and research institutes to convene and discuss the commercial viability and innovations in polymeric properties to meet the challenges of the photovoltaic industry.
