4 FAQs about Eva film used on photovoltaic panels

Why do solar panels use Eva film?

Following lamination, the EVA sheet serves as a barrier to prevent dust and moisture from entering the solar panel. This is essential to preserving the solar cells' long-term dependability and performance. Additionally, the solar cells may "float" between the glass and backsheet thanks to EVA film.

What is the thickness of Eva film used in solar panels?

Typically, EVA film used in solar panels has a thickness of 0.4 to 0.6 mm. This thickness was selected with care to provide a level and consistent surface, which is essential for the efficient encapsulation and safeguarding of the solar cells. The crosslinking ingredients in the EVA film allow it to crosslink at a curing temperature of about 150°C.

What is ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film?

In the solar industry, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film is widely used to encase photovoltaic (PV) modules. This essential component shields solar cells from external elements including moisture, UV light, and heat stress. We provide high-performance EVA sheets that are rigorously validated and tested for quality.

Which encapsulating material is used in solar PV module manufacturing?

The most widely used encapsulating material in the solar photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing sector is EVA film. Solar cells are laminated between EVA sheets using a laminator while compressed and vacuumed. At temperatures as high as 150°C, this activity takes place. EVA film is a hot-melt adhesive film used in solar cells.
