The thermo-mechanical degradation of ethylene vinyl acetate used as a solar panel adhesive and encapsulant

The thermal ageing of an Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA) polymer used as an adhesive and encapsulant in a photovoltaic module has been investigated. The EVA is used to bond the silicon solar cells to the front glass and backing sheet and to protect the photovoltaic materials from the environment and me...
