Innovations in Polymer Materials for Photovoltaic Solar Panel Applications"


Photovoltaic (PV) solar market is growing leaps and bounds with increasing demand for cleaner, renewable energy. China alone is home to hundreds of manufacturing plants churning out solar panels and modules; supplying half the world's supply of PV solar cells. PV manufactures on the other hand 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.

"A small number of companies are developing plastics from sustainable resources, such as plants not used as food sources, for photovoltaic cells, which are on the verge of an explosive growth burst."

Feb 2010, Design News

"Dow Chemical will begin producing polyolefin encapsulant films for polycrystalline silicon and thin-film photovoltaic modules. The films are company's first PV encapsulant products and provide better module protection and improved electrical performance compared with traditional encapsulants used in solar applications."
Sept 2010, Chemical Week

CMT's Polymer Apps in PV is the 1st Asia summit focusing on polymeric material innovations and trends for solar module manufacturing. The conference will be a platform for PV technologists and polymer suppliers to interact and discuss pertinent issues facing the industry!

Top Reasons to Attend:

Arkema has just brought on stream successfully and on schedule its new Kynar PVDF production fluorinated polymer plant at its Changshu site in China.

 

This plant helps provide for the growth of Asian customers, and better respond to global demand for PVDF in applications ranging from high performance industrial coatings, offshore and chemical engineering markets to emerging sectors like lithium-ion batteries and photovoltaic panels.

 

Arkema has decided to speed up the extension of this new plant by announcing in January this year an additional 50% capacity. This increase should come into effect by mid-2012.
