Description
Summary:Many local resins are sold in the market. They cannot be directly used as solar cell encapsules because further research on resins and catalysts is required. This research aims to investigate the effect of resin material for encapsulation on small solar cell wafers for use in the home industry. This research aims to investigate the surface hardness of low-cost resin as encapsulated materials of solar wafer cells. The experiment was carried out by applying resin on the surface of solar cells with various thicknesses (2-6 mm) and various types of solar cell materials, namely SHCP 2688, ART, Lycal, UPR, and Eposchon. The hardness test on the encapsulated materials was carried out on three different points using a shore D digital durometer to determine the hardness level of various samples. Results show that the thickness and encapsulation material affects the hardness of solar wafer encapsulation materials.
