New solar module backsheet based upon polyamide
Backsheet producer Tomark-Worthen LLC has actually established a brand-new polyamide backsheet under the U.S. Department of Energy's Sunshot campaign. The item is based upon an unique polyamide-ionomer alloy produced by U.S. chemicals manufacturer DuPont. The alloy, along with the various other products in the backsheet, are maintained with a UV/anti-oxidant plan that reduces the harmful impacts of ultraviolet radiation. The maker declares that the backsheet is 25-30% even more inexpensive than high-efficiency fluoropolymer items.
