6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panels connected with structural adhesive]

Do solar panels need adhesives?

Adhesives have become prevalent in solar applications to replace mechanical fasteners and welding. Solar assemblies need to withstand harsh environmental conditions (e.g., UV, rain, wind, sand) and temperature cycling (i.e., panels get cold at night, hot during the day, and cold again at night) for long periods of time.

What are the benefits of structural adhesives for solar panels?

Another concern for solar panel installers is the weight of the system. Structural adhesives eliminate the weight of mechanical fasteners and improve stress distribution, while providing a clean, streamlined appearance.

Can structural adhesives help lower PV panels' costs?

Ian Quarmby from Lord Corp. explains how using a structural adhesive offers can help improve quality (and lower costs) for PV panels, and eliminate maintenance issues for installers — and in both cases, help lower costs.

What is a solar adhesive?

An adhesive is a substance that unites or bonds surfaces together. In the solar industry, adhesives are used throughout the process of manufacturing and installation. Henkel's adhesive Loctite 3388P enables high-strength ingot bonding in solar applications.

Are solar adhesives weather resistant?

Weather resistance is a primary concern with the adhesives used to install solar panels, so solar manufacturers and installers should investigate how long the adhesives are going to last in the harsh conditions of a typical solar installation. An introduction to solar adhesives from our 2012 Renewable Energy Handbook.

Do thin film solar panels need adhesive?

Thin-film solar panels (see page 296), in particular, need adhesives around the edges because they typically don’t have frames to protect them. They need an additional moisture barrier called a side or edge seal. Many manufacturers use butyl, either in a liquid or tape form. Butyl-casting resins provide water vapor-tight sealing.
