DuPont unveils expanded product portfolio

As an industry leader in solar solutions that delivers proven power and lasting value for the industry, DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions (DuPont) showcased a broader portfolio of innovative materials as well as customer collaborations at the 2018 SNEC International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Exhibition. “DuPont aims to bring high efficiency, high reliability material solutions to our customers through continuous innovation to enable sustainable growth of the PV market and attractive return of investment for solar power investors,” said Chuck Xu, Global Business Director, DuPont Photovoltaic and Advanced Materials. “We are proud to introduce at SNEC an expanded portfolio of products, including a new generation of Solamet® metallization pastes, new Tedlar® backsheet materials as well as the addition of Dow Corning™ PV silicone products to our PV offerings,” Xu added.

One of the new highlights is the clear DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film, an ideal back-sheet material for bifacial modules that can generate greater power output. Compared to a double glass module structure, the breathable, clear Tedlar® PVF film-based back-sheet allows for higher reliability, lower operating temperature, up to 30% lighter weight, and a lower module installation cost. The clear Tedlar® PVF film is expected to be a drop-in with most current manufacturing processes for back-sheets and modules with little if any additional investment in equipment needed for most manufacturing processes. DuPont continues to be an industry pacesetter for innovation in the solar industry by introducing leading performance metallization pastes.
