Adhesion testing for photovoltaic laminates
conference contribution
posted on 2018-07-04, 09:45 authored by Jiang Zhu, Gabriel Surier, Dan Wu, Daniel Montiel-Chicharro, Tom BettsTom Betts, Ralph GottschalgAn adhesion test allowing for the realistic assessment of adhesion needs for PV modules has been developed. The difference is that the test is conducted in-situ during ageing experiments. Weights were attached to the backsheet of tested PV mini-modules in order to test stability of lamination and adhesion. All samples were tested at standard test conditions of module temperature of 85ºC and 85% relative humidity. It is shown that appropriately laminated samples were able to withstand the force of 20g/cm for 1000 hours.
