DuPont (Wilmington, DE) has collaborated with Oerlikon Solar to produce the DuPont™ PV5223 thin white reflective solar PV encapsulant sheet. This thin 0.45-mm white reflective encapsulant eliminates the need for reflective paint typically used to reflect light back to the active layer. Designed for use with Oerlikon Solar's Micromorph® technology, the PV5223 increases light reflectivity by more than 50% versus paint, achieving 94% reflectivity, and delivers stronger adhesion than clear PVB sheet materials, which translates into longer-life modules.
