Illustrating Solar Market Applications

 

This dedicated market page highlights our solutions for bonding, sealing, and electrical protection. The illustration conveniently displays all the applications through strategically placed bullet points.

Frame Bonding: During solar panel installation, frame bonding is crucial to ensure stability and durability. Dow’s products, such as DOWSIL™ PV-8303, DOWSIL™ PV-8301, DOWSIL™ PV-8300, DOWSIL™ PV-804 Neutral Sealant Noir, and DOWSIL™ PV-804 Neutral Sealant Blanc, offer exceptional adhesion to materials used in solar frame manufacturing. Their weather, UV, and high-temperature resistance ensure reliable and long-lasting attachment, contributing to the longevity of installations.

Rail Bonding: Rails are used to support and secure solar panels in place. Proper bonding of the rails is crucial to ensure secure attachment against vibrations and mechanical loads. Dow and Samaro’s bonding solutions, combined with their technical expertise, offer exceptional adhesion between rails and mounting surfaces. This enables uniform stress distribution and optimal load distribution, reducing the risk of damage and structural failure.

Junction Box Bonding: The junction box is a vital component of solar panels, housing electrical connections and protecting internal components from environmental conditions. For junction box bonding, DOWSIL PV-7326 is the recommended solution. Dow and Samaro’s products offer excellent weather, extreme temperature, and mechanical stress resistance, ensuring optimal protection for electrical connections and prolonging the lifespan of installations.

Backsheet Repair: The backsheet, or rear sheet, is an outer layer of solar panels that protects the photovoltaic cells from moisture and mechanical damage. In case of degradation or damage to the backsheet, DOWSIL™ 7094 Noir is a product used for backsheet repair. With its advanced formulation, it provides exceptional adhesion to backsheet surfaces, ensuring durable sealing and restoring structural integrity. With DOWSIL™ 7094 Noir, installers can perform effective repairs, minimizing the risk of further damage and ensuring optimal module performance.

Photovoltaic Cell Encapsulation: The encapsulation of photovoltaic cells is a critical step in solar panel manufacturing. It aims to protect the cells from external elements such as moisture, impacts, and UV rays. For this application, DOWSIL PV-7326 is the recommended product. This encapsulation product from Dow and Samaro offers excellent adhesion and durable protection. Its special formulation helps maintain cell integrity while improving their efficiency, ensuring optimal solar panel performance.

Junction Box Encapsulation: In addition to junction box bonding, encapsulation is essential for maximum protection against water ingress and unfavorable environmental conditions. For this application, DOWSIL™ PV-8301 and DOWSIL™ PV-8300 are the recommended products. Dow and Samaro’s encapsulation products offer superior weather and UV resistance, as well as exceptional resistance to chemicals. They provide complete protection for the junction box, ensuring electrical safety and long-term reliability of the solar installation.
