Adhesive targets stringing & shingling solar modules
Engineered Material Systems has introduced the DB-1541-S9 conductive adhesive for stringing or shingling applications in crystalline silicon and thin-film solar modules. The adhesive is stress absorbing to withstand the rigors of thermal cycling and features excellent conductive stability to cell and ribbon metallisation during damp heat exposure.
Additionally, the conductive adhesive is designed to gel rapidly and then complete cure through the encapsulant lamination and cure process. The DB-1541-S9 is designed to electrically interconnect solar cells using ribbons or direct cell to cell contact.
According to EMS, the DB-1541-S9 is approximately 50% lower cost than standard silver filled conductive adhesives.
