Advanced polymer encapsulates for photovoltaic devices − A review
Generally, with an increase in the temperature of a PV cell, there is a decrease in its electrical efficiency, and the lower thermal conductivity of the EVA encapsulates also favors this decrease. Doping of EVA with ceramic powders and other materials could enhance its thermal conductivity which efficiently transfers heat away …
