Solar Solutions Durable and Process Optimized Bonding of Module Mounting Systems

Solar Solutions Added Value with Bonded Mounting Systems Nowadays photovoltaic modules are typically mounted to the sub construction by clips, frames and screws or other mechanical devices. This system is not only very labour and time consuming in the field but also in terms of small parts handling. In addition to this, the failure rate in wrong or over-tightened fixing can cause glass breakage or damage in the cells. Furthermore, savings in materials can be achieved by moving from frames to a bonded mounting solution. As the industry is currently striving to reduce costs and improve long-term...

Solar Solutions Silicone Adhesives – The Right Technology The outstanding performance of Silicone adhesive technologies in regard to long term durability has proven itself over decades in the facade, insulating glass and other highly demanding industries. Sikasil® AS-780 combines these qualities with process optimized characteristics for fast assembly and handling. All this makes it the best choice for your bonded module mounting system. Surface tolerances Tapes Limited tolerance compensation. Completely leveled, parallel and smooth surface necessary Good tolerance compensation Good tolerance...

Solar Solutions Key Characteristics of Sikasil® AS-780 Sikasil® AS-780 is specifically designed to fit into the common production processes and cycle times of a PV module production. This makes it possible to fully integrate the bonding process into the existing production lines. The high initial green strength of Sikasil® AS-780 allows the assembled modules to be handled within the cycle time for ashing or packaging without any need for pre-fixation. To ensure a durable and structural bonding under harsh environmental conditions, Sikasil® AS-780 meets the most severe facade requirements of EOTA...
