“Advanced Encapsulation Materials”
- The solar encapsulation market is witnessing a significant shift towards advanced materials that enhance the efficiency and durability of photovoltaic modules
- Traditional encapsulants such as ethylene vinyl acetate are being supplemented or replaced by innovative materials such as UV-curable resins and non-ethylene vinyl acetate compounds
- These alternatives offer improved resistance to ultraviolet radiation, moisture, and mechanical stress, thereby extending the lifespan of solar panels
- For instance, in May 2022, JA Solar Holdings introduced the DeepBlue 4.0 X module, featuring specially designed encapsulation materials and patented Gapless Flexible Interconnection technology to address mechanical stress at cell interconnections and reduce the risk of microcracking
- This trend towards advanced encapsulation materials aligns with the industry's focus on enhancing the performance and longevity of solar energy systems
