Although ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) is still the dominant PV encapsulant, polyolefins (PO) have gained market share in recent years. Like EVA, PO can be mixed with a cross-linking agent and chemically reacted during the lamination process to form polyolefin elastomers (POE). The cross-linked and therefore insoluble fraction of the encap...
In this paper we investigate to what extent the standard tests for quality assurance of solar
modules have to be adapted to the special requirements of combinations of encapsulation materials newly come out on the market. GC tests were carried out on laminated samples and mini-modules of different EVA and POE material combinations, as well as on c...
