After debuting 3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9000 last year, 3M Renewable Energy Division has continued development on the innovative technology, and is now introducing two new products – 3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9100 and 3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9110T.
Both products provide superior PID (potential reduced degradation) resistance and electrical properties, enabling longer module life. 3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9110T also provides the additional benefit of higher power output due to its ability to transmit wavelengths below 350 nm.
The new 9100 series films take module efficiency to the next level, providing low water absorption and high volume resistivity in addition to their better PID resistance. The films are designed for easy manufacturing and are compatible with most existing lamination machines and processes. A wide process window gives manufacturers the ability to adapt the products to different processes, increasing versatility.
3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9100 and 3M Solar Encapsulant Film EVA9110T provide durable bonding strength with both glass and backsheets, and also have enhanced UV and damp heat stability.
