  • Publication number: 20130247984
    Abstract: A multilayered film, a back sheet for a photovoltaic cell, methods of manufacturing the film and cell, and a photovoltaic module including the film and cell are provided. The multilayered film includes a resin layer formed on a substrate, and the resin layer contains a fluorine-based polymer and a reactive functional group having an equivalent weight of 30,000 or less. The resin layer containing the fluorine-based polymer has good durability and weatherability and is highly adhesive to the substrate at an interface between the resin layer and the substrate. Also, since a drying process may be performed at a low temperature during manufacture of the multilayered film, manufacturing costs may be reduced, productivity may be increased, and degradation in the quality of products due to thermal deformation or thermal shock may be prevented. The multilayered film may be effectively used as, for example, a back sheet for various photovoltaic modules.

  • Publication number: 20130171447
    Abstract: Provided are a multi-layered sheet, a backsheet for a photovolatic cell, a method of preparing the same and a photovoltaic module. The multi-layered sheet in which a resin layer including a fluorine-based resin has excellent durability and weather resistance, and also exhibits strong interfacial adhesion to a substrate or polymer coating layer is provided. When a drying process is performed at a low temperature in preparation of the multi-layered sheet, production cost can be reduced, producibility can be increased, and degradation in the quality of a product caused by thermal deformation or thermal shock can be prevented. Such a multi-layered sheet may be effectively used as a backsheet for various photovoltaic cells.

  • Publication number: 20120204952
    Abstract: A front sheet of solar cell, a method of manufacturing the same and a photovoltaic module are provided. The front sheet of solar cell can effectively block infrared rays (IRs) by forming an IR blocking layer including a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) material on a substrate. Thus, an increase in temperature of a cell can be suppressed so that the power generation efficiency of the cell can be improved. Also, the multi-layered sheet can be configured so that a UV blocking layer including a fluorine-based polymer and a wavelength conversion material can be formed on the IR blocking layer. Thus, wavelengths of a UV region can be converted into wavelengths of a VR region so that the power generation efficiency of the cell can be improved, and discoloration and deformation caused by UVs can be prevented so that the weather resistance can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20120031475
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solar cell back sheet, including: a substrate layer; and a resin layer including a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based polymer having a crystallinity of 50% or less, and a method of manufacturing the same. The solar cell back sheet is advantageous in that, since the drying temperature of the resin layer formed on at least one side of the substrate layer can be freely adjusted within the range of 250° C. or less, preferably, 200° C. or less, there can be improvements in the optimum conditions for obtaining optimum physical properties, minimization of the thermal deformation of the substrate layer, and the production cost and productivity of the solar cell back sheet.
