Materials matter in solar modules – they can extend module lifetime and bring down the cost of solar electricity. But in today’s cost-competitive market, some manufacturers are substituting unproven or inferior quality materials that have the potential to compromise not only the performance of the modules, but also the reputation of the solar energy industry at a critical time in its growth. DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions and other quality leaders have been working to raise awareness of the issue and encouraging system developers, investors and owners to understand more of the fundamentals behind what materials make up a module and the impact they have on its power output – and return on investment - over time.
