Another play on the solar craze - DOW and GLW may be?

The manufacturing process works in conjunction with developmental Dow Corning PV-6100 Encapsulant series, which provides a clear laminate to protect each solar cell in a panel and can replace commonly used ethyl vinyl acetate resin. The silicone-based material provides higher watt efficiency, longer module life, and optimum UV resistance. Equipment for the new process requires less capital and less factory space.

The process and encapsulant series are being piloted by select solar partners in the new Dow Corning Solar Application Center in Freeland, Michigan and are expected to be commercially available in mid-2009.

"We've made significant progress in the past year in being able to take technology from the lab to production scale," said Eric Peeters, global executive director, Dow Corning Solar Market Business Unit.
