“Durability of Polymeric Encapsulation Materials in a PMMA/glass Concentrating Photovoltaic System”

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Many CPV cells are coupled to an optical component/coverglass with a polymer. We describe a screen test to identify field-induced failure modes in popular encapsulation materials. Results are presented for 36 months cumulative exposure.
