Innovative and customized films and resins produced by Solvay  are used in the realization of flexible frontsheets (Halar® ECTFE and Hyflon® PFA/MFA®) and PV backsheets (Solef® PVDF and Halar® ECTFE) thanks to their outstanding properties as:
• Long-term weatherability
• Optimal light transmission
• High moisture barrier for fronsheet and backsheet hydrolysis protection
• Fire resistance
• Electrical insulation
• Light weight
