- In December 2023, RenewSys introduced India's first Polyolefin Elastomer (POE) encapsulant tailored for n-type TOPCon solar cells, named CONSERV E – NT. This product aims to reduce degradation in n-type TOPCon modules by incorporating a free radical scavenger to protect against environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations, moisture, and chemical exposure
- In October 2023, Shanghai-based AIKO launched its cutting-edge solar cell products, including solar encapsulation technology, in Australia at the All-Energy exhibition in Melbourne
- In August 2023, Alishan Green Energy launched the Alishan BackPro back sheets, a line of photovoltaic cell encapsulants combining fluoro and non-fluoro options. These back sheets, produced at Alishan's Raipur facility, feature a proprietary multi-layer coating that enhances electrical insulation, moisture barrier properties, and resistance to mechanical stress and partial electrical discharges. This innovation aims to improve the performance and longevity of solar modules, catering to the growing demand for durable and efficient solar energy solutions
- In March 2023, Dow expanded its solar encapsulation offerings by introducing the DOWSIL™PV product line, which includes six silicone-based sealants and adhesives designed to enhance the durability and performance of photovoltaic modules. These products are intended for applications such as frame sealing, rail bonding, and junction box bonding, supporting the global shift toward renewable energy by improving the reliability and lifespan of solar installations
- In March 2023, the Chemical conglomerate DOW, a US-based company, launched photovoltaic (PV) product solutions for PV module assembly and line with six silicone-based sealants
- In May 2022, JA Solar launched the DeepBlue 4.0 X module, featuring specially designed encapsulation materials and patented Gapless Flexible Interconnection (GFI) high-density module encapsulation technology. This advancement addresses mechanical stress at cell interconnections and reduces the risk of microcracking, thereby enhancing the efficiency and durability of photovoltaic modules
