Abstract

In this paper, we propose to study the quality analysis of emerging EVA, comparatively to other encapsulant materials, in the PV market by additional analysis contribution developed in our recent investigations by using optical techniques (UV-visible transmission, photoluminescence…) and thermal analysis techniques. This contribution can induce a new methodology for long term PV module reliability in situ and outdoor exposure by using emerging encapsulant materials.
