Solar Backsheet
Solar backsheets form the rear protective layer of modules that use a polymer back construction.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A solar backsheet is the last layer at the bottom of the solar PV panel and is typically made of a polymer or a combination of polymers. One of the lessvisible but essential components of a solar panel to their long-term performance is backsheets.
Weathering, adhesion and mechanical behaviour need to be maintained as an assembly. Fluoropolymer-based and other constructions differ. A backsheet is distinct from the encapsulation layer inside the module.
What turns activity into demand
Solar capacity does not convert directly into polymer-backsheet area. Module dimensions and the share using a backsheet provide the bridge. Separate film layers, completed backsheets and modules. Modules using rear glass do not automatically require the same backsheet area.
The commercial boundary
Separate film layers, completed backsheets and modules. Modules using rear glass do not automatically require the same backsheet area.

Market perspective
A solar backsheet is the last layer at the bottom of the solar PV panel and is typically made of a polymer or a combination of polymers. One of the lessvisible but essential components of a solar panel to their long-term performance is backsheets.
China is the main production area of Solar Backsheet, and global manufacturing plants are gradually moving to Asia. The Asia Pacific region is the main consumption area, and consumption in 2019 accounted for 90% of global sales. At the same time, with the rapid development of emerging markets and the rapid growth of downstream market demand, the North America regional markets are growing rapidly.
