There has been a lot of discussion about the quality of Indian made solar modules. What is your take on that?
Recently, the Indian market has responded sensitively to price leaving little space for technological innovations and room for compromises in either understanding, procurement of cells, F&B sheets or manufacturing processes. Since F&B sheets directly impact performance of solar modules, any slack in quality may prove to be detrimental not just for the solar modules and but also the corporate brand in long term. It is strongly recommended that manufacturers ensure proper understanding of the chosen products before settling for final BOM. Our trained team would be happy to take queries and assist buyers wherever possible.
How can some of the major prevelant module defects be prevented by right mix of F&B Sheets?
From an electrical perspective, a higher dielectic and breakdown voltage strength in Brij Backsheets and improved electrical volume resistivity in Brij FrontSheets will ensure lower leakage currents and Potential induced degredation defects in modules lifetime, again leading to better output, performance ratio and higher return on investements.
