the sustainability of their operations. The disposal of cleaning supplies can also be costly to the module maker and the environment. Cleaning rags are often covered with residual silicone which may be classified as a hazardous waste.
Tapes are considered more sustainable as they are pre-sized for the specific module design to prevent material waste during the production process. However, both tapes and silicone sealants require four corner fasteners; the reduction of material is a key sustainability goal at most OEMs across industries.
There is one framing technology that does stand out from the other options in enabling sustainability advantages. By providing instant adhesion, immediate handling capabilities and a precision application, SolarBond InFrame combines the best of both worlds in minimizing wasted energy and materials on the line. By ensuring a high-quality module that can withstand the challenging environments, it also prevents product waste – another step towards increasingly green manufacturing in the solar industry.
