TROSIFOL® PV/SOLAR - A NEW DIMENSION FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATION
For more than 50 years TROSIFOL® has been known as a reliable polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer supplier in the field of laminated safety glass for architectural and automotive application.
Being aware of the growing importance of the photovoltaic market in respect of re-newable energies, TROSIFOL is the first PVB film manufacturer to have developed a special interlayer for photovoltaic modules.
With the TROSIFOL PV/Solar module, manufacturers can now offer elements for use in building facades, overhead and balcony glazings with outperformed safety features. Modules fitted with TROSIFOL PV/Solar show excellent transparency, high adhesion strength and excellent resistance to heat, UV, moisture etc.
They are also highly reliable during long-term exposure under severe outdoor weather conditions.
TROSIFOL PV/Solar, as an encapsulant of solar cells, is not a thermosetting plastic - so it doesn't need a heat curing process. Therefore the laminate has reproducible characteristics. It can be manufactured in a one-step vacuum lamination process as well as in a two-step lamination process (vacuum + autoclave process) and is used for e.g. laminated safety glass.
TROSIFOL PV/Solar is available in different standard grades. The choice of the right PVB film depends on the type of application and solar cell in the PV module.
TROSIFOL PV/Solar is available in a maximum roll width of 3210 mm with a polyethylene (PE) interlay
