To begin with, cut the encapsulant material such as PVB or EVA to the appropriate size. This material will cover the surface of the solar cells. Afterward, arrange the solar cells and a glass or plastic cover sheet around the encapsulant. The encapsulant is crucial. It protects solar cells from outside factors.
EVA served the industry well when solar panels were simpler. But today's high-efficiency solar panels need protection that matches their advanced capabilities. EPE (POE) encapsulants are the smart choice for modern solar installations. They deliver premium protection while working with existing manufacturing processes.
EVA is one of the most used materials to encapsulate solar cells. EVA encapsulation offers several advantages making it a preferred choice in many applications. EVA ensures a strong connection and efficient encapsulation. It does this by sticking well to glass and back sheet materials. Its optics maximize the solar cells' energy conversion.
PVB is a thermoplastic polymer which has been used since the early 80s as a PV module encapsulant. It represents the second most processed encapsulation material, with similar material costs to EVA.
