Saint-Gobain Solar's LightSwitch Portfolio of Solutions for Photovoltaic Modules

LightSwitch Frontsheet is a melt processablefluoropolymer providing weatherability and UV resistance, useful for flexibleand lightweight solar modules. These transparent films provide frontsheets weighingas low as 0.1 kg/m2 offer resistance to chemicals and weathering, lowflammability, stress crack resistance, and insulating properties. In addition,LightSwitch Frontsheet is surface-treated to ensure superb adhesion to LightSwitch Encapsulant.

LightSwitch Encapsulant provides cushioningand structural support to solar cells and circuitry, while maximizingtransmission of sunlight for energy conversion. With weathering properties, itprotects the solar module throughout its lifecycle. LightSwitch Encapsulant issuitable for both flexible and rigid modules, with adhesion to other PV module components.

LightSwitch Frontsheet Complete, a pre-laminate combining Frontsheet andEncapsulant, features all the performance benefits of both with improvedproduction efficiencies, including reduced wrinkles and precise alignment.

The portfolio also includes the LightSwitchModule Design Program and expert engineering design services for PV modulemanufacturers.
