EVA is an encapsulant used between the glass cover and the solar cells in PV modules. It is durable, transparent, resistant to corrosion, and flame retardant.<br /> 2. Ethylene vinyl acetate is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It’s an extremely elastic material that can be sintered to form a porous material similar to rubber, yet with excellent toughness. The porous elastomeric material is three times as flexible as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), showing tensile elongation of 750% with a peak melting temperature of 250°F (96°C).<br /> |Sources=https://www.solar-electric.com/learning-center/general-solar-information/photovoltaic-solar-power-glossary.html (1.); http://www.porex.com/technologies/materials/porous-plastics/ethyl-vinyl-acetate/ (2.)<br /> }}<br /> Author: Thomas D.</div>
