Vitrum Enrgy Conference Paper - Reduced Costs Of Pv Module Production

To reduce the production costs of thin film modules, Bystronic Glass goes a new way. The company has adapted a well-known solution to manufacture insulating glass to the PV world. The new system for this is called TPS (Thermo Plastic Spacer) multi layer for encapuslation of PV modules. Furthermore, the new system gives answers to the question "How to provide an active and effective barrier against moisture and vapour?" which is a big issue for the longevity of different semiconductor types.
