Casting light on backsheet destruction
A U.S. research study group has actually uncovered that backsheets are most influenced by fracturing and also destruction on internal layers, therefore locations often tend to come to be much more inflexible. The researchers have actually additionally found that destruction is sped up by chemicals coming down from the solar cells' EVA encapsulant to the backsheets themselves.
