Arkema has been active in this market since 2001, focused on development of plastics that would help extend the lifetime of solar panels and make their manufacture quicker and cheaper. The supplier hopes that the partnership with the researchers from INES at its site near Chambéry, France, will help energize their efforts in the market.
This new joint laboratory will pool Arkema's expertise in polymers, polymer films and nanomaterials, with the expertise of the INES teams in design and in development processes for photovoltaic modules, silicon and thin layers. The cooperation will be in place initially for four years.
