Evonik Industries Develops ROHAGLAS Flexible Solar Modules

Jul 15 2010

Evonik Industries has developed a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-based weathering-resistant, transparent barrier film for the purpose of replacing glass plates as a frontal cover.

Most solar modules consist of crystalline solar cells with semiconductor layers that are light sensitive and are made out of silicon wafers. A frontal glass plate protects the module cells from environmental effects.

Apart from the weathering resistance and transparency properties, the PMMA is enabled with the UV stability property as well. The company’s ROHAGLAS film helps protect the film’s underlying layers against weathering effects, thus ensuring longevity. In terms of the spectral ranges with relevance to photovoltaics, Evonik Industries’ new film goes on to achieve 88% transmission rate for short-wave regions and 90% for long-wave regions.
