Definitions
- the present invention relates to photovoltaic modules. More specifically the present invention related to the protective backing sheets. Description of Related Art
- Typical photovoltaic modules consist of glass or flexible transparent front sheet, solar cells, encapsulant, protective backing sheet, a protective seal which covers the edges of the module, and a perimeter frame made of aluminum which covers the seal.
- a front sheet 10, backing sheet 20 and encapsulant 30 and 30' are designed to protect array of cells 40 from weather agents, humidity, mechanical loads and impacts. Also, they provide electrical isolation for people's safety and loss of current.
- Protective backing sheets 20 are intended to improve the lifecycle and efficiency of the photovoltaic modules, thus reducing the cost per watt of the photovoltaic electricity. While the front sheet 10 and encapsulant 30 and 30' must be transparent for high light transmission, the backing sheet must have high opacity for aesthetical purposes and high reflectivity for functional purposes. Light and thin solar cell modules are desirable for a number of reasons including weight reduction, especially for architectural (building integrated PV) and space applications, as well as military applications (incorporated into the soldier outfit, etc). Additionally light and thin modules contribute to cost reduction. Also reduction in quantity of consumed materials makes the technology "greener", thus saving more natural resources.
- backing sheets should provide electric isolation, mechanical protection, some UV stability, adherence to the encapsulant and ability to attach output leads. mechanical protection, some UV stability, adherence to the encapsulant and ability to attach output leads.
- FIG. 2 provides an illustration of a typical laminate backing sheet 20.
- the laminate consists of films of polyvinylfluorides 22, which is most commonly Tedlar ® , polyesters (PET) 24, and copolymers of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) 26 as key components.
- the EVA layer 26 bonds with the encapsulant layer 30 in the module and serves as a dielectric layer and has good moisture barrier properties. It is dimensionally stable. White EVA allows significant power boost.
- the polyester layer 24 is very tough, has excellent dielectric properties, is dimensionally stable, and also has good moisture barrier properties.
- the poly vinylfluoride layer 22 serves as a very weatherable layer.
- PVF film is produced by a casting process from dispersion, using high boiling solvents (usually dimethyl acetamide for oriented Tedlar® and propylene carbonate for Tedlar® SP). The boiling point of dimethyl acetamide is 164-166 0 C and the boiling point of propylene carbonate is 200 0 C.
- the dispersion must be processed at 16O 0 C and 90% of solvent content or greater to ensure adequate film formation. Higher temperatures are unacceptable due to PVF resin thermal instability; its fusion and decomposition temperatures are so close, that PVF can decompose during the baking. As a result, there is always a residual solvent in Tedlar® film. DuPont reports that residual amounts of dimethyl acetamide (DMAC) ranging from 0.05 to 1.0 wt% will be present in all oriented Tedlar® PVF films.
- DMAC dimethyl acetamide
- ECTFE Haar® films are produced by melt extrusion at

Also, the patent discloses use of an ionomer encapsulant with the dual ionomer backskin.
