Technical FAQs 4

What are the advantages of Pu composite solar panels?

The volume resistivity of PU composites can reach 1×10 14 Ω-cm. If a solar PV module is packaged with a non-metal frame, the possibility of forming a leakage circuit is greatly reduced, helping reduce occurrences of Potential-Induced Degradation (PID) .The harm of the PID effect results in power attenuation and a decrease in power generation.

What is a polyurethane composite solar panel frame?

The polyurethane composite solar panel frame developed by Covestro and its partners has demonstrated excellent material performance. As a non-metal material, polyurethane composite frames also reduce the overall price and increase energy efficiency for solar panel module manufacturers over traditional metal aluminum frames.

Is Covestro Pu composite a good choice for photovoltaic modules?

Photovoltaic module systems with Covestro’s PU composite frames have been certified by TÜV Rheinland in 2021, showing that this new material can meet the stringent requirements of the renewable energy sector while providing a low-carbon emission, high-quality solution to development needs.

Why do solar PV modules need a frame?

The frame is an important component of solar PV modules, fixing and sealing the modules and backsheet while enhancing the strength of the modules. This strengthening helps to facilitate the transportation and installation of the modules, and performance of the frame directly influences the mounting and service life of the modules.
