| Mitsubishi Aluminum subsidiary MA Packaging
develops and manufactures the
backsheet film that is used to
protect solar panels which are
rapidly coming into widespread
use the world over. Typically
having a working life of between
20 and 30 years, photovoltaic modules use a glass panel
to protect the top surface and a laminate film to protect the
bottom. Backsheet film needs to be durable, to provide a
moisture barrier and electrical insulation to prevent current
leakage, be resistant to heat and be able to reflect back
sunrays that pass through the cell and thereby boost its
electrical output. A composite construction is used to
provide these properties with three plastic films being laid on
top of one another. MA Packaging’s backsheet products are
between just 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm thick and the technology
the company uses to manufacture the backsheet film that
gives solar panels
better electrical
insulation,
outstanding
durability and
heat resistance
rates among the
best in Japan. |
