| Popis: | 32nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 183-186 STR has recently developed new non-EVA encapsulants for PV modules based on polyolefin elastomers (POE’s). These materials have many advantages compared to traditional EVA based encapsulants like improved thermal and chemical stability, minimized corrosive potential, lower moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), improved electrical properties and PID resitance [1]. However, some similarities remain, like the need for a curing approach where the encapsulant is transformed from a thermoplastic into an elastomer during lamination. In this regard, lamination cycle optimization is required in order to obtain a good compromise between sufficient curing and optimal performance and reliability of the correspondent PV module. Special focus will be place on measuring the main properties that could be affected by poor cure levels like i) creep resistance, ii) adhesion to glass, iii) adhesion retention after DH85/85 and iv) light transmission. Lamination cycle times similar to standard EVA encapsulants are desirable. |
