The Importance of Foamed Silicone as Sealing Material for Photovoltaic Modules
2024-09-06
Compared with other general adhesive materials, silicon-based materials-foamed silicone can usually achieve more demanding applications, from applications operating at extreme temperatures to applications operating in harsh environmental conditions. At the same time, foamed silica gel is compatible with the cushioning and thermal insulation properties of foamed materials, and is used as a sealing material for photovoltaic modules, which can produce a series of extraordinary properties and social benefits:
(1) Foamed silica gel is a sealant with good adhesion and weathering resistance;
(2) Prevent water and oxygen in the air from entering the solar photovoltaic cell module to oxidize the silicon cells in the module, resulting in a decrease in the conversion rate of the silicon cells;
(3) Prevent strong wind and movement vibration, buffer the collision between components, and protect the glass plate;
(4) Provide high temperature resistance, excellent moisture and UV resistance, and electrical insulation to improve the service life of solar panels;
(5) Reduce maintenance costs and improve energy efficiency;
(6) In terms of participation in reducing carbon footprint and replacing non-environmentally friendly energy sources, this is a very important sub-contribution area!
