Where is Yiyuan Technology located?

It is located in Yesun Science and Technology Industrial Park, Guanlan Street, Longhua District, Shenzhen, nearby the Guanlan exit of Meiguan Expressway, the central development axis of Shenzhen with convenient transportation and easy access in all directions. Yiyuan Technology is a subsidiary controlled by the American company AA POWER INC.

Does UV irradiation cause yellowing of ABS plastic sheet?

Under 340 nm UV radiation, a part of the area was directly exposed and the other part was covered by the PMF with high reflection in the UV band. From Fig. 10 b-c, it can be clearly seen that the part protected by PMF and the unprotected part of the ABS plastic sheet have obvious yellowing differences after UV irradiation.

How much weight does a single-glass PV module take up?

Normally, the weight of glass in the single-glass PV module takes up about 70% of the entire photovoltaic module. Therefore, only by finding alternative materials for photovoltaic glass can it be possible to effectively address the weight issue of PV modules.

What are the application fields of photovoltaic (PV) modules?

The application fields of photovoltaic (PV) modules have gradually expanded from single ground power stations and rooftop distributed power stations to transportation, automobiles and boats [, , , ].

How much does PV glass weigh?

As shown in Table 2, taking the standard PV cell of 1.9 square meters as a reference, the weights of PV glass (thickness of 3.2 mm) and PMF (thickness of 20 μm) are 15.19 kg and 0.05 kg respectively. The weight of former is 315 times than that of the latter.

Which polymer can replace Photovoltaic Glass as front cover?

Gorter et al. studied and compared 15 polymer materials such as Polyvinylideenfluoride (PVDF), Ethyl-Tetrafluorethylene (ETFE), Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), etc., to replace photovoltaic glass materials as front cover. Fluorides offer excellent UV-resistance but are up to 20 times more expensive per kilogram compared to glass [, , ].
