New model to optimize PV module encapsulation

An Austrian team develped a model to optimize lamination parameters and to flag critical, insufficiently crosslinked and inconsistent encapsulant laminations. It could be particularly suitable for the production of double-glass solar panels. Researchers from Austria's Institute of Polymeric Materials and Testing (IPMT) at the University of Linz have developed a model to improve the quality and consistency of the curing process of ultraviolet (UV)-transparent encapsulants, such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and polyolefin elastomer (POE) films. The new model is based on an Arrhenius-type ...
