Effects of Cerium Removal from Glass on Photovoltaic Module Performance and Stability
Posted in Solar Power, Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Pollution, Tech Briefs on Wednesday, July 14 2010
In recent years, better stabilizer formulations for ethylene vinyl-acetate have been developed, giving more confidence in the long-term stability of PV packaging materials. Because of this, some manufacturers have stopped using Ce-doped glass. National Renewable Energy Laboratory researchers studied Ce-free glass.
