Solar Encapsulation Market Analysis and Forecasts 2018.

Solar Encapsulation is the process of combinations of solar cells and with the use of materials like Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl butyral (PVB), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), lonomer, Thermoplastic polyurethane and Poly fin etc. the energy from solar is converted into different types or forms of energies. The encapsulation also will increase the mechanical stability, scratch resistance and furthermore they can work as UV filters to minimize the photo-Oxidation processes.

EVA (Ethylne Vinyl Acetate) is also used in photovolitics industry as an encapsulation material for sillicon cells in the manufacture of photovoltic modules. PVB has gained acceptance in the manufactures of photovoltic thin film solar modules. The photovoltic circuit is formed on a sheet of glass using thin film deposition and pattering techniques. it is also known as a common laminent used in the solar industry. PVB and a another sheet of glass(called back glass) are then placed directly on the circuit. The lamination of this sandwich encapsulates the circuit, protecting it from the enviornment. Current is extracted from a module at a sealed terminal box that is attached to the circuit through the hole in the back glass.

The present invention comprises a solar cell module and a method of encapsulating the module. The solar cell module comprises a rigid or flexible superstrate and/or substrate having one or more solar cells, and an encapsulent which is a cured liquid silicone encapsulant. The encapsulant composition preferably comprises a liquid diorganopolysiloxane having at least two Si-alkenyl groups per molecule, a silicone resin containing at least two alkenyl groups; a cross-linking agent in the form of a polyorganosiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, in an amount such that the ratio of the number of moles of silicon-bonded hydrogen to the total number of moles of silicon-bonded alkenyl groups is from 0.1:1 to 5:1; and a hydrosilylation catalyst, preferably a platinum based catalyst. The continuous solar cell module encapsulation process comprising the steps of uniformly applying by spraying, coating or dispensing a predetermined volume of a liquid silicone encapsulant onto a solar cell module and curing said encapsulant thermally or by infrared radiation.
As We seen that, the demand for global electricity is increased day-by-day and in future it will get double, so the solar encapsulation market has a steady growth in future. As the Solar photovoltaic has a potential to reduce cost and the developments which takes places in photovoltaic technology is developed, such factors are responsible to develop  this market in a globe.
As the manufacturers in this industries are concentrated to develop and evolved new technologies to improved encapsulants for upcoming PV technologies so that, they offers various features like efficiency, resistance against heat and moisture, and flexibility etc. Across the globe various markets such as Asia, Europe and North America has been emerging and the key success for the solar encapsulants manufactures and will remains for the future to increase their sells and revenue.
