Customer ServiceThe purpose of PV module lamination is to protect the solar cells from environmental factors, such as moisture, dust, and temperature changes, and to ensure the durability and performance of the module. The most common way to laminate a PV module is by using a lamination machine, which applies heat and pressure to the module in a vacuum chamber.
PV module lamination increased the efficiency of solar panels. The protective layer used in lamination is typically made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), a material that has been shown to improve the efficiency of solar panels by up to 2%.
The most common way to laminate a PV module is by using a lamination machine, which applies heat and pressure to the module in a vacuum chamber. This process causes the EVA to melt and bond with the glass and TPT, forming a solid laminate.
One key factor in guaranteeing solar module performance and indeed longevity is the lamination process responsible for making them. This process encapsulates solar cells in between a number of substrate layers including top and bottom protective layers.
Another element influencing PV module reliability is the adhesion between the different materials within the module. The adhesion of the encapsulant on the glass, cell and backsheet is also dependent on lamination process conditions and hence also directly linked to crosslinking rate however its study is out of scope of this paper.
In the last few years PV technology has seen continuous improvements, with significant enhancements at the cell and module levels. In addition to the requirement of high efficiency, the long-term reliability of PV modules leads to proposals for innovative module concepts and designs.
