Engineered Material Systems to Introduce New Next-Generation Solar Modules at EU PVSEC

Estimated reading time: Less than a minute

Engineered Material Systems, Inc. (EMS) announces the introduction of its new CA-150 Series Snap Cure, Low Cost Conductive Adhesive for stringing and shingling crystalline silicon and heterojunction solar modules. The CA-150 Series will be shown for the first time at the EU PVSEC Photovoltaic Exhibition, scheduled to take place September 25-28, 2017 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The EMS CA-150 Series is designed for use in modified ribbon stringers. The material will snap cure and fixture cells and ribbons in seconds at 150°C with enough strength to withstand module manufacturing processes until the adhesive cure is completed during the encapsulant lamination process. EMS CA-150 series conductive adhesives can be dispensed by time-pressure, auger or jetting. The adhesive is more stress absorbing than solder to withstand the rigors of thermal cycling and processes at lower temperature than solder. CA-150 series conductive adhesives are less than half the cost of silver-filled conductive adhesives.
