Pouch lamination technique for solar cell encapsulation

Scientists in India have used a pouch laminator to encapsulate a polycrystalline solar cell. The resulting device, the researchers claim, showed better UV photon absorption than solar cells treated with a polymer surface coating.Researchers from the Madurai Kamaraj University in India have claimed pouch lamination - of the sort routinely used to strengthen documents by sealing them in a sturdy plastic covering - could be used to encapsulate solar cells. The scientists say a solar cell they laminated in such fashion offered better ultraviolet (UV) photon absorption than devices treated with a polymer ...
