摘要:
A solar module includes a photovoltaic device that is partially encapsulated on a front side by a laminate layer. A front substrate is located over the laminate layer. The photovoltaic device is also at least partially encapsulated on a back side by a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The adhesive layer acts as an encapsulant to protect the photovoltaic device as well as acts as an adhesive for attachment to a substrate.
摘要:
A pressure sensitive adhesive composition for attaching a solar module to a substrate includes an uncured rubbery polymer blend, at least one of a tackifier or a curing agent blend, and a polybutene homopolymer. The tackifier includes a phenolic tackifier resin and the curing agent blend includes at least one of a cure accelerator, a sulfur activator, and a curing vulcanizing agent. The composition exhibits initial tackiness when uncured and high strength when cured. The composition is cured in situ on the substrate.
