PV module is a packaged and protected system in which multiple PV cells are connected to deliver the electric power. Generally, PV cells in a PV module may be crystalline, semi-crystalline, or amorphous and they are safely packaged in multiple protective layers including front cover, encapsulate, and back sheet.
Encapsulate: PV cells as mounted in PV modules are encapsulated with a polymeric material to protect against weather, corrosive environment, UV radiation, low mechanical stress, and low energy impacts. Most often polymeric encapsulate material is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film.
Ethylene vinyl acetate EVA, a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate is the predominating material of choice for manufacturing the encapsulate film since the early eighties, and nearly 80% of PV modules are encapsulated with EVA film [4, 13, 29].
Solar energy is the most-abundant renewable energy-resource and among the various solar techniques, photovoltaic (PV) technology has emerged as a promising and cost-effective approach .
In a study, Surlyn (a copolymer of ethylene & methacrylic acid) has been reinforced by cellulose microfibers, and the composite material was used as encapsulate for the PV module .
Frame: the majority of PV modules are fitted with an anodized aluminum frame, which hugs the front cover at the top and the back sheet at the bottom. Framed PV modules are better protected than frameless modules during transportation. Fig. 1. Components of a PV module (Reproduced with permission from Ref. . Copyright 2017, Elsevier Ltd). 3.
