UNSW: Solar module encapsulant materials and quality of construction affect damp heat performance
Jan 14, 2026
The use of polyolefin elastomers (POE) as an encapsulant in solar module construction could limit the effects of degradation on the module’s electricity generation, according to research from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. The key conclusion from a paper published this week said that POE encapsulants can limit the impact of degradation, particularly when compared...
