Abstract

We studied the degradation of EVA for the protection of solar cell by UV-rays irradiation. We investigated the reduction of electrical efficiency, photo transmmitance and degradation of EVA by UV-rays irradiation. We utilized the UV irradiation equiped with fluorescent 313nm UV lamp and radiated for 400 hours. For the chemial analysis, we used the UV-vis spectrometer, XPS and examined the degradation mechanism by UV irradiation. It is found that the discolored phenomena, the decrease of photo transmmitance and oxidation reaction is occured by UV irradiation on the EVA sample for the protection of solar cell.
