Sealants and Adhesives for Photovoltaic

Ernst Semar, Dr. Harald Becker, Dr. Wolfgang Wittwer

This paper provides an outline of the requirements for sealants and adhesives which are used for the assembly of PV modules based on various designs including lamination or multilayer technology. Also convincing solutions for the growing interest to seal PV modules (especially TF, Thin Film modules) against moisture ingress are presented.

In the field of BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) the paper discusses the option to combine PV modules with insulating glass technology - in particular an easy way to pass the electrical ribbons via the edge of modules and the compatibility of the used components.
