ENGAGE™ PV POE Polyolefin Elastomers for photovoltaic applications

Dow is committed to the renewable energy sector and is the industry’s preferred supplier of polyolefin (POE) for photovoltaic (PV) use cases. Dow’s ENGAGE™ PV POE, developed specifically for encapsulant applications, possesses high optical and good insulation properties, making it ideal for improving PV module efficiency, lowering power-induced degradation and reducing the levelized cost of energy. Overall, ENGAGE™ PV POE helps operators increase and maximize the total power generation of PV power stations across their lifetimes.

Key benefits:

Lower water vapor transmittance rate

High volume resistivity

No acetic acid

Good anti-potential induced degradation (PID) performance

Long term reliability, anti-yellowing properties

Stable and reliable global supply

Continuous innovation with new product development
