TY - JOUR AU - Thorey, Claire PY - 2013/10/30 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Using Adhesives as a Means to Reduce Costs and Increase Performance in the Production of Photovoltaic Electricity JF - CHIMIA JA - Chimia VL - 67 IS - 10 SE - Scientific Articles DO - 10.2533/chimia.2013.729 UR - https://www.chimia.ch/chimia/article/view/2013_729 SP - 729 AB - Although adhesives have been used for many years to manufacture cars in more efficient ways, their potential has not yet been fully exploited by the renewable energy industry. We argue in this article that photovoltaic module manufacturers can save costs and differentiate from competition by careful selection and use of their bonding systems. Clever adhesives can enable new, more effective product designs and can play a major role in the longevity of the complete product. ER -
