Photovoltaic encapsulants

DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions, Wilmington, Del., offers the new DuPont PV5200 Series photovoltaic encapsulant sheets, based on polyvinyl butyral polymer technology. The new PVB sheets offer physical and processing performance levels proven in laminated glass manufacturing, with additional features designed to meet the needs of thin-film solar power generation. Focused on glass-glass thin-film module constructions, DuPont PV5200 Series encapsulant sheets assure excellent glass adhesion and proven safety glass performance, with high visible light transmission. The encapsulant sheets are a clear, pliable material with excellent flow characteristics, well-suited for module encapsulation using nip-roll/autoclave, vacuum laminating and novel solar module processing methods. They come in thicknesses from 15 mil (0.38 mm to 45 mil (1.14 mm), for sampling and use by solar module makers worldwide.
