6 FAQs about [Items to be tested for solar backsheet adhesive]

What tests are used to test a backsheet?

Modified/custom vs. standard tests Tests 1 (85 °C/85 % RH), a (A3), and c (UV and water spray) gave the greatest insight into backsheet durability, uncovering material susceptibilities to hydrolytic degradation in the dark (test 1), under UV weathering (test a), and with a combination of UV and water spray (test c).

What is a solar backsheet?

Initially, solar backsheets had a three-layer structure (PVDF/PET/PVDF). The outer PVDF layer offers excellent environmental corrosion resistance, the middle PET layer provides insulation, and the inner PVDF layer, combined with EVA, ensures good adhesion.

Do you need a backsheet for solar panels?

In most cases, normal backsheets are sufficient to meet the requirements of PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) solar panels. However, when it comes to N-type or N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) solar panels, a more specialized approach is necessary.

Why do solar cells need a backsheet?

UV rays can cause semiconductor materials within the solar cells to degrade, diminishing their performance and efficiency. The backsheet acts as a shield, protecting the cells from UV radiation. It’s important to note that over time, all backsheets will undergo a color change due to UV exposure.

Can a peel test test the adhesion at a backsheet sublayer?

The peel test cannot test the adhesion at backsheet sublayers. ing weights (20 g/cm) as the second Y-axis. L140 sample did not fail after 1800 h exposure, which is plotted in the brackets. The time. Looking at the L125-P and L125-G result, the gravity test failed quickly. In contrast, the peel test w as performed at room of adhesion.

Why do photovoltaic cells need a backsheet?

Water and dust particles can lead to corrosion and pitting, posing a threat to photovoltaic cells. The backsheet’s role is to shield against moisture-related damage, including corrosion of electrical connections, insulation degradation, and the risk of short circuits.
