Article Published: Role of Encapsulants in PV Modules

Over the last few decades, there has been an exponential increase in global energy needs due to rapid urbanization and as of 2019, 64% of our electricity came from fossil fuels. Every major country in the world recognizes the challenges that lie ahead if reliance on fossil fuels is not reduced drastically and after years of research, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology seems to provide the most sustainable way ahead. For Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology to compete commercially with fossil fuels, it must last at least 25 years during which the entire system (especially the modules) experience extremely harsh weather conditions. PV cells within the module experience significant morphological and structural changes, optical absorption decay, and impairment of the optoelectronic properties,...
