As the specialist in customized organic peroxides, United Initiators manufactures the crosslinking agents that increase the performance of photovoltaic encapsulates. Encapsulant yellowing is a complex problem that United Initiators has successfully addressed with new crosslinked polymers.
In the world of solar energy production, the more useable sunlight that can be directed into a photovoltaic module's silicon wafers, the more electricity can be produced. Photovoltaic module designers and manufacturers, therefore, strive to increase the amount of solar energy their solar cells absorb. United Initiators has developed advances in photovoltaic encapsulate materials by focusing on the film that protects the wafer's surface. To a large degree, the amount of useable light from the solar spectrum that enters the silicon wafer is affected by the encapsulant film.
United Initiators has helped develop advances in photovoltaic module encapsulate materials by working with compounders and PVM manufacturers to improve the EVA film that protects the wafer's surface. Discoloration is yellowing or hazing that causes a reduction in the sunlight that penetrates to the silicon wafer, and the goal obviously is to continue to reduce discoloration. This extends the period of time during which the photovoltaic encapsulants are at their maximum clarity.
United Initiators' advances in photovoltaic encapsulate materials that resist discoloration are significant to solar panel manufacturers. Discoloration is yellowing or hazing that causes a reduction in the sunlight that penetrates to the silicon wafer, and the goal obviously is to continue to reduce discoloration. This extends the period of time during which the photovoltaic encapsulants are at their maximum clarity.
