PV module manufactures face crucial challenges to meet increased efficiency, performance and durability. The role of polymers in the manufacturing of solar modules is extensive.  Polymers have flexible properties and commercial availability making it cost effective and reliable. From backsheets to encapsulants to sealants and adhesives, polymers are continuously being improved and enhanced to meet higher standards and requirements.

Aim of the 2nd Polymer Apps in PV conference on 12-13 Mar, 2012 - Leipzig:

The conference is focused on scientific and commercial developments in polymeric materials and substitutes that can be used for photovoltaic applications. It’s a platform for module technologists, converters and polymer suppliers to interact and discuss the best material options and developments in material characterization that could both meet cost competitiveness and performance.
