Photovoltaics is an important pillar of future climate-friendly energy production. Manufacturers who want to keep a crucial lead over their competitors need pioneering, competitive products. WACKER offers module manufacturers an integrated package for encapsulation, potting, bonding and special applications in the form of TECTOSIL^® silicone-based thermoplastic and the ELASTOSIL^® Solar product range.

WACKER solutions:

• Ensure integration of the different module components
• Fix the mounting systems of frameless large modules
• Protect sensitive solar cells against weathering and moisture
• Insulate electrical components in the junction box against the most diverse of external effects
• Focus sunlight on concentrator cells

For extraterrestrial applications, WACKER offers ESA-approved specialty products from its ELASTOSIL^® S range – with properties specifically designed for outer space .

In this way, WACKER’s silicones ensure that photovoltaic modules operate reliably and smoothly.
