Solar encapsulation refers to the technique used to protect solar panels and equipment against degradation due to various external and environmental factors. It involves encapsulating photovoltaic (PV) cells with a polymeric material, generally ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film. It helps extend the life of solar cells, mitigate stability issues, and offer protection against corrosion and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, low mechanical stress, and temperature changes. It also assists in providing adhesion between the solar cells, the top surface, and the rear surface of the PV module. In recent years, solar encapsulation has gained immense popularity as it aids in enhancing the performance, efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness of PV modules.

Solar Encapsulation Market Trends:

The widespread adoption of solar panels and the escalating demand for electricity across the globe represent the primary factors driving the market growth. Additionally, there has been a substantial shift toward renewable energy sources due to the growing environmental concerns and depleting conventional energy sources. Along with this, the increasing private and public investments to modernize the existing infrastructure are catalyzing the market growth. Besides this, the development of low-cost encapsulant materials, such as cadmium telluride and amorphous silicon cells, and non-EVA-based encapsulations, including thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyvinyl butyral (PVB), are augmenting the product demand. Moreover, the implementation of favorable policies and subsidies on the installation of solar panels by governments of various countries is propelling the market growth. As a result, the leading manufacturers are developing new encapsulants for emerging PV technologies. Other factors, including the growing need to reduce carbon footprint, rapid urbanization, technological advancements, and emerging solar energy applications for power generation, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
