AMI's fourth annual Plastics in Photovoltaics 2014 is slated for November 11-12, 2014 at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue in Philadelphia, PA. The conference program aims to feature both technical and market presentations from industry speakers and researchers covering two days.
The solar power markets are predicted to double in size in the next 5 years. Photovoltaic technology is being refined based on decades of data and field experience. Module manufacturers are aiming for profitable, high quality manufacturing to ensure that the industry is competitive and reliable in the long-term to meet the 25 year insurance demands. The challenge is to develop more efficient and cheaper production processes as the industry has seen a price drop of 80% in a short space of time. This conference focuses on the polymers which form components such as front sheet materials, encapsulants, substrates, back sheet materials, high performance seals, adhesives and concentrating lenses. Understanding these thermoplastics and elastomers is key to developing this high-tech industry.
