Backsheet material is critical to resist environmental factors and increase the life span of solar panels. Today’s premier technology is equipped to create highly specialized polymer backsheets that have increased potential for sunlight penetration. One such leading backsheet tech is visible in transparent backsheet manufacturing. Transparent backsheets are a giant leap over traditional (opaque) backsheets and possess unique qualities that make them a superior alternative to other forms of backsheet.
Vishakha Solar Films is an emerging leader in the manufacturing of high-quality transparent backsheets in India. The company is using cutting-edge technology to manufacture backsheets with inherent capabilities. Vishakha Solar films PV backsheet products include PET, PVDF, PVF, black, transparent and patterned transparent PVDF backsheets that feature high transmission, adequate UV resistance, industry-grade electric insulation, best-in-class thermal stability, and superior moisture/dust protection.
The transparent backsheet has exceptional water-repelling (hydrophobic) properties. The three layer construction utilized in transparent backsheet ensures it becomes highly moisture-resistant. This aligns well with solar panels that are installed in areas with more moisture in the air.
Engineered to add more output capacities to the solar cell, these backsheets increase watt-per-cell output. With the ability to transmit more light, transparent backsheets maximize the utilization of solar energy. This increases the total power output.
There is a growing trend of bifacial, large-size, high-efficiency, and low costs of the modules in the solar industry. Cutting-edge transparent, superior-quality polyester backsheets are being introduced as substitutes for glass in Bifacial modules or other types of modules where transparency is necessary, such as in greenhouses.
The new transparent backsheets from Vishakha Solar films have impressive performance metrics. It features a high mass efficiency, exhibits low degradation, ensures long-term power output stability, and has a low-temperature coefficient of power.
These backsheets are suitable for diverse environments, including high-temperature regions, dust-prone areas, and seaside locations prone to corrosion.
Vishakha’s Transparent backsheet modules have passed various safety standards, ensuring their fault-proof performance and reliability. They offer a more sustainable solution as they can be recycled through physical disassembly, reducing environmental impact.
Vishakha Solar films, powered by advanced European technology, operates a modern manufacturing facility that accelerates and automates the process. As a result, the company can produce 3 GW of PET, PVDF, PVF based Backsheets.
Transparent backsheets can make a strong business case in markets where importing glass is expensive. By using transparent backsheets instead of glass, solar panel manufacturers can reduce costs and make their products more competitive and cheaper for the end users.
Many component suppliers and backsheet manufacturers are offering solutions suitable for transparent backsheets. This availability of transparent materials, such as Clear Tedlar, transparent PVDF, and ultra-clear PET films, provides manufacturers with options to incorporate transparent backsheets into their solar panels.
This emerging technology is amidst ongoing adoption and is witnessing widespread adoption owing to its advanced functionalities. Transparent backsheets for PV modules have emerged as a significant innovation in the solar industry, offering a range of advantages and shaping the future of photovoltaic technology.
The new transparent backsheet for solar modules aims to address several challenges faced by manufacturers and users. If we compare the transparent backsheet product with double glass modules, we find that transparent backsheets are lighter and easy to install and their power gain outperform the glass models.
Vishakha Solar films not only facilitates the development of eco-friendly solutions but also contributes to the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Make in India) initiative of the Indian Government.
