Market Definition

Photovoltaic films are specialized polymeric materials that encase and protect photovoltaic cells housed in solar panels; they help PV cells remain durable, functional, and viable over time. The films function as a protective layer, keep the delicate solar cells safe from environmental stressors (moisture, sunlight, dust/debris, physical damage), and are clear to allow passage of sunlight, and can electrically insulate the PV cells from the environment. The most common types of photovoltaic encapsulation films are ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyolefin elastomers (POE), and polyvinyl butyral (PVB). EVA dominates the market partially because of its low-cost, high-transparency, and high-strength adhesion, encasing over 80% of PV modules in use across the globe. Photovoltaic films are produced through extrusion or co-extrusion processes - the polymers are melted, shaped into thin sheets, and submerged or bonded together by coating them with silica or adhesion promoters (like silanes) to be able to bond the film to attachment materials beyond just glass or back sheets. Process designs, like vacuum lamination, help precisely embed the solar cells among the films (such as between sublimation film, support, or back sheet film), sealing all exposed surfaces from external threats and preserving the PV module.

Photovoltaic films are instrumental in the process of manufacturing solar panels because they are integrated into crystalline silicon and thin-film PV modules. (They are used in residential, commercial, automotive, and construction applications.) In addition, encapsulation films enhance the efficiency of solar panel systems, as they limit the degradation from external forces that deteriorate the panel integrity. Further, encapsulation films are increasingly being used in new alternatives, such as flexible solar modules and building-integrated photovoltaics. The encapsulation film market is developing rapidly due to rising solar adoption, increasing government incentives, and improving technology in encapsulant durability.
