Photovoltaic encapsulant made with ENGAGE™ PV POE Polyolefin Elastomers
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.
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
Recyclable photovoltaic backsheet
Dow polyolefin elastomers increase the compatibility of polyolefin backsheet with polypropylene (PP), enabling the creation of material with enhanced thermal stability and toughness ideal for making PV backsheets. These recyclable, Dow-enhanced backsheets improve PV module productivity and durability, allowing it to pass hot spot tests and perform even in the most trying conditions.
