Solar encapsulation is the technique of applying specific polymeric materials for sealing photovoltaic (PV) cells and other components within a solar panel. This protective layer plays an essential role in preserving the panel's long-term durability and performance. Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Ionomer, and Polyolefin are the main types of materials used in the solar encapsulation process.
The solar encapsulation market size can be estimated by adding the revenues generated by the global companies manufacturing solar encapsulants.
