3M has introduced its 3M Ultra Barrier Solar Film for flexible copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), cadmium telluride (CdTe) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar modules.
According to the company, the 3M Ultra Barrier Solar Film is highly transparent, provides moisture vapor transmission rates below 5 * 10-4 g/m2/day and demonstrates excellent durability. The 3M Ultra Barrier Solar Film requires little installation time and removes the need for metal racking, 3M adds.
The company plans to begin high-volume production of the Ultra Barrier Film to supply 3M's global thin-film manufacturers throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia.
