PHOTOVOLTAIC/SOLAR
TCI can provide a multitude of films/foils for use in the solar industry, including ETFE, ECTFE and PVDF films. The combination of excellent solar light transmission, UV resistance, and outdoor durability makes TCI extruded films the materials of choice for front and back sheets of flexible PV panels and glazing of solar collectors. Due to their excellent dielectric performance, fire resistance, and high solar transmittance, PVDF, ECTFE and ETFE films are well suited for use in the back sheet and front sheet glazing of PV panels. They are used extensively as an external material for the back sheet, protecting the PV Module from the environment for an extended period. TCI also offers plasma-treated surfaces for bonding or lamination.
Solar cells made from TCI materials offer strong impact resistance and can withstand harsh environments. Compared to traditional glass, TCI fluoropolymer films are light-weight and self-cleaning, making them a more cost-effective and durable product. Fluoropolymer films also eliminate structural weight limitations and rigidity imposed by glass, thereby improving the integration of PV modules into complex shapes. By using TCI solar solutions, you can more efficiently reach higher levels of generated power output with fewer PV modules without the weight and rigidity of traditional solutions.
Enhanced Light Transmission
Fluoropolymer films possess excellent light transmission properties, allowing a higher percentage of sunlight to pass through compared to traditional materials.
Excellent Weathering Performance and Longevity
TCI’s Fluoropolymer Films are resistant to UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and harsh weather conditions, which means that the panels will not degrade or discolor over time.
Reduced weight and increased flexibility
Fluoropolymer films overcome the weight and rigidity constraints of glass, allowing PV modules to be more easily integrated into complex structures.
Self-Cleaning and Anti-Soiling Properties
TCI’s Fluoropolymer films smooth surfaces and low surface energy prevent dust, dirt, and other pollutants from adhering to its surface. As a result, fluoropolymer encapsulated solar panels require minimal maintenance and cleaning, saving time and costs associated with regular panel upkeep.
