Thin-film CIGS PV modules with more than 3000Â h damp heat stability: Breakthrough time property of the B-Dry® edge sealant and its characterization

► The performance of B-Dry® have been characterized in SAES laboratories during the development. ► Different methods has been applied to measure the breakthrough time that was in agreement to the expected one, by modeling and design. ► The internal characterizations have been validated in independent way in ZSW laboratories with real panels and in Kurary labs with a special propetary method. ► Different configurations have been proposed for the lamination according to final user requirements for yield and production time.
