Under the accord, Dupont will collaborate on the research and development of materials applied by GD Solar to its panels and systems. DuPont will supply key PV materials and work with GD Solar to optimize their performance and application for high-efficiency solar cells and panels, integrated frames, new protective backsheet constructions and other system components.
The companies also will conduct field research on panel reliability and failure modes to learn more about materials’ critical impact on the daily operation of solar systems.
