SHANGHAI, May 24, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced it will introduce
its latest Tedlar® frontsheet materials at the 2023 SNEC
International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy
Exhibition. DuPont will be located at Booth W4-555 at Shanghai New
International Expo Center.
"We are very proud to launch Tedlar® frontsheet to
potential partners and end users in the photovoltaic industry at
SNEC," said Ryan Peng, Global
Business Director of DuPont Tedlar®. "The main challenge for
lightweight PV modules is replacing glass frontsheets while
maintaining mechanical stability and weatherability.
Tedlar® frontsheet offers a unique combination of durability,
UV resistance, high level of light transmittance, lasting UV
protection, mechanical toughness, abrasion resistance, chemical
resistance, good adhesion to encapsulant. We believe that this
innovative solution can provide frontsheet of solar
modules."
The weight of photovoltaic (PV) modules poses a significant
challenge in some applications. Numerous commercial buildings and
auxiliary structures are designed with little to no spare
structural capacity. Vehicle efficiency is directly tied to weight.
Lightweight modules may address this challenge by reducing weight,
enabling PV elements to be installed or retrofitted at lower cost
for parking roofs, building Integrated PV (BIPV), and vehicle
integrated PV (VIPV). On the booth, we will be showcasing BIPV
system through integration of Tedlar® frontsheet and metal
laminated roofing system.
During the exhibition, DuPont will also introduce battery pack
thermal management solutions in energy storage applications. DuPont
scientists will share insights at technical forums on May 25 to talk more about Tedlar® frontsheet
film for lightweight and flexible PV modules and reliable
performance of Tedlar® products during the SNEC Expo.
