This expertise has provided DUNMORE with the know-how to develop backsheet solutions using modi?ed ?lms and laminates which yield better perfor-mance while reducing weight and cost. DUNMORE has put that experience to use in its DUN-SOLAR™ Photovoltaic barrier and insulation products.GlassEVAPV CellsEVABacksheetDUNMORE’S DUN-SOLAR line of backsheets provide long-term weatherability and physical protection for photovoltaic modules. Panels are protected from moisture ingress, abrasion, and punctures while receiving the right amount of electrical insulation.DUN-SOLAR backsheets o?er the ultimate in UV protection withUV stable materials on both sides, with a wide range of performance choices and economics, including:1. All Polyester Constructions: PPE & PPE+, providing excellent performance in a non-?uorinated ?lm with outstanding UV and Hydrolysis resistance.2. Fluorinated Finish on Polyester: FPE, combining the durability of a ?uorinated ?nish and a PET ?lm laminate.3. Tedlar® Constructions: TPE and TPT, Dupont Tedlar®-based products, traditionally sought after for their ?uorinated ?lm performance.4. Thin Film Constructions: TAPE, incorporating an Aluminum layer with Dupont Tedlar®- based products creates an ultimate moisture barrier ideal for thin-?lm applications.MAKING FILMS FUNCTION AROUND THE GLOBE AND BEYONDDUN-SOLAR CREDENTIALSTHIN FILM SOLUTIONSBacksheets are UL recognized under ?le QIHE2, Photovoltaic Polymeric Materials-Component.All DUN-SOLAR backsheets are certi?ed by TÜV for Partial Discharge. Their low shrinkage in vacuum lamination provides bubble and wrinkle-free modules. Our ISO 9001:2000 certi?ed manufacturing facilities ensure our products and systems meet the high quality standards of the photovoltaic industryOur long history of manufacturing high performance ?lms continues with our thin ?lm photovoltaic technology. In addition to the more common c-Si photovoltaic module construction, DUNMORE has thin ?lm photovoltaic solutions for second generation solar technologies. DUNMORE o?ers thin ?lm PV backsheets for: - Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) - Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) - Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) - Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)Standard products for thin ?lm technologies are available such as DUN-SOLAR TAPE & EPE laminates. Or we can provide development and manufacturing of your custom backsheet solution for solar concentrators and thin ?lm photovoltaic products including: - Fluorinated ?lm laminates - Non-?uorinated ?lm laminates - Metallic ?lm laminatesRegardless of the thin ?lm technology, all of our DUN-SOLAR thin ?lm photovol-taic backsheets are designed to: - Aid in the production of lowest cost-per-watt. - Conform to non ?at surfaces promoting module ?exibility. - Create a high vapor barrier to protect the thin ?lm PV chemistryAll DUN-SOLAR products are developed, produced and tested in conformance with all common standards and regulations.All DUN-SOLAR backsheets are easily cleanable, chemically resistant and provide a very strong "tear bond" to EVA encapsulants. They have exceptional stability under damp heat and freeze-thaw conditions. Extended damp heat testing has shown superior retention of bond strength for all layers of the laminate.module construction, DUNMORE has thin ?lm photovoltaic solutions for second generation solar technologies.
