Avery Dennison offers pressure-sensitive adhesive tape solutions for a variety of solar panel bonding applications. These durable, UV-resistant solutions are easy-to-use and automate, and can facilitate design optimization.
We’re entering a dynamic era for the North American solar industry. Commercial and residential demand is growing as the price of solar energy is falling. With such marketplace conditions in effect, utilizing adhesive tapes for the bonding of solar panels components can be a versatile solution.
Avery Dennison tapes are engineered to perform in a wide variety of solar panel manufacturing applications. Our broad portfolio of tape constructions features a variety of acrylic adhesive chemistries.
Adhesive tapes offer solar panel manufacturers significant advantages over other bonding methods.
Tapes are engineered to withstand exposure to UV light, moisture, high and low temperatures, and climatic extremes. They can provide consistently high performance throughout the service life of a panel, helping improve overall quality and minimizing the need for warranty issues.
Tapes offer a simple “peel-and-stick/instant-bond” alternative to messy liquid adhesives (which typically require cure time) and complicated mechanical fasteners. Adhesives can be engineered for easy repositionability, reducing rework and waste on an assembly line.
Tape materials are engineered to facilitate automated application. This is typically a key requirement for solar panel manufacturing. These materials are also very easy to apply manually.
Tapes can replace mechanical fastening methods, offering a thinner profile and lighter weight to help optimize solar panel design. They also spread their bonding forces more evenly than screws and rivets, helping prevent fatigue and wear of the substrate.
FM 2333 is a 36 mil double-coated white polyethylene foam with a modified acrylic adhesive. Bonds well to low surface energy materials and can fill gaps. Commonly used in general industrial foam applications.
Avery Dennison HPA™ 1902 is a 2.4 mil transfer tape with a high performance acrylic adhesive. It bonds well to medium and high surface energy plastics and metals. HPA™ 1902 is commonly used for signage and graphics and general industrial applications.
FT 0012 is a linerless, single-coated tape featuring a 1 mil PET facestock and an acrylic adhesive. With 5.0 kV of dielectric strength (AC), this tape is recommended for various electrical insulation applications inside EV battery packs. FT 0012 is part of the Avery Dennison Volt Tough™ portfolio of dielectric tapes.
