Reliable Encapsulation Of TOPcon & HJT Modules
Peter Peng From China’s HiUV Presented About Innovative Encapsulants For TOPCon And HJT PV Panels
At the TaiyangNews Reliable PV Module Design Virtual Conference in December 2022, Peter Peng, Senior Marketing Manager of Chinese PV encapsulants maker HiUV, spoke about the reliability of TOPCon and HJT modules when using innovative encapsulation solutions.
Lowering Losses
While Optimization Of Encapsulation Is The Major Change Required For Module BOM Of HJT, Half Wafer Processing And Optimization Of Cell Process Are The Ways To Curtail The CTM Losses
This article is the second about HJT module making, after we covered metallization as the last part of solar cell processing in this series of articles on HJT solar manufacturing (see Silver-Free Contacts Via Plating For HJT) HJT solar technology requires changes at the module level.

New Silicones With High Durability For BIPV
Estimating To Match The Life Of Other Building Components Of 50 Years, Dow Is Promoting New Silicone Based Encapsulation Solution For BIPV
Silicone is also an interesting and well-known material used for encapsulation applications. Several variants of silicones have been introduced in the past but with very little success.
EPE: The Two In One Approach For Module Encapsulation
Combining The Best Of Two – EVA And POE – Encapsulation Materials Suppliers Have Developed A Co-Extruded Multilayer Structure EVA-POE-EVA For Bifacial Modules
With the increased deployment of bifacial modules and EVA having some limitations, especially the low PID resistance, its applications are mostly limited to glass-glass modules.
The Thermoplastic Variant Of Polyolefins
Thermoplastic Polyolefin Solar Module Encapsulation Solutions With The Ability To Support Low Processing Temperature Are Mainly Promoted For HJT And Perovskites Based Tandem Architectures
Unlike with backsheets, where Austria’s Borealis is following a “B to B” approach, in the encapsulation segment the chemical company is taking a “B to C” approach.
White EVA For Higher Module Output
Employing White EVA On Rear Side Instead Of Transparent Variant Is Now Mainstream And Is Also The Most Important Development In EVA Segment Of Solar Encapsulants
While EVA has been traditionally used in a transparent form for solar modules, a white variant was brought to the market to be used as the bottom encapsulation layer.
Excerpts Of Trends In Encapsulation
While Price Increase Is The Most Important Development In Commercial Space, Bifacial Is Heart Of The Technological Developments In Encapsulation Segment
While nothing groundbreaking has happened in the mainstream encapsulation segment, Dow is in the process of developing a very innovative liquid silicone solution for building integrated PV that cures at room temperature with high durability of up to 50 years.
