In 1975, screen printing was first applied to solar cells for the formation of the front and rear contacts replacing expensive vacuum metallization (1). The encapsulate used in a photovoltaic (PV) module has many requirements. It must be optically transparent, electrically insulating, mechanically compliant, adherent to both glass and cells, and sufficiently robust to withstand 20-30 years in the field. Since the early 1980s, the encapsulate in all PV modules has been ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) (2, 3).Registration
