Durability and Reliability of Polymers and Other Materials in Photovoltaic Modules (Plastics Design Library)

Durability and Reliability of Polymers and Other Materials in Photovoltaic Modules describes the durability and reliability behavior of polymers used in Si-photovoltaic modules and systems. particularly in terms of physical aging and degradation process mechanisms. characterization methods. accelerated exposure chamber and testing. module level testing. and service life prediction.

The book compares polymeric materials to traditional materials used in solar applications. explaining the degradation pathways of the different elements of a photovoltaic module. including encapsulant. front sheet. back sheet. wires and connectors. adhesives. sealants. and more.

In addition. users will find sections on the tests needed for the evaluation of polymer degradation and aging. as well as accelerated tests to aid in materials selection.

As demand for photovoltaics continues to grow globally. with polymer photovoltaics offering significantly lower production costs compared to earlier approaches.

this book will serve as a welcome resource on new avenues.

 

Provides comprehensive coverage of photovoltaic polymers. from fundamental degradation mechanisms. to specific case studies of durability and materials failure

Offers practical. actionable information in relation to service life prediction of photovoltaic modules and accelerated testing for materials selection

Includes up-to-date information and interpretation of safety regulations and testing of photovoltaic modules and material
