Abstract: . . .  modules allow for modules to conform to shapes to increase utility and lower costs. These concepts allow modules to be part of integrated systems such as roofing shingles and tiles. In these circumstances polymeric glazings such as ETFE are critical to product design. 3. Conclusion The properties of fluoropolymers are uniquely suited for the needs of photovoltaic modules. A portion of the photo- voltaic industry’s success is due to the confidence that these properties instill in manufacturers and consumers.

When searching for substitutes for glass, most common polymers are inadequate because of the extreme require- ments of clarity with long outdoor life. Fluoropolymer films can provide useful alternatives to glass where the properties of flexibility and low weight are desired. The copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoethylene (ETFE) is the most popular fluoropolymer glazing used today. Table 3 shows some selected properties. Another advantage of using fluoropo- lymers . . .
