In this paper, we analyzed the effect of EVA Sheet Gel Content depending on curing condition for photovoltaic module. Gel Content was measured by manufacturing Glass/EVA Sheet/Back Sheet scheme at several curing temperature and curing time. And the surface analysis of EVA Sheet depending on process condition could be observed using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope). Through this experiment, we could confirm that there are differences on Gel Content of EVA Sheet and surface configuration depending on curing temperature and curing time. To find out the optical characteristic dependency on curing condition, Class/EVA Sheet/Glass scheme was fabricated. The optical transmittance of EVA Sheet at visible wavelength was enhanced 5% when compared to Glass/Glass scheme. And the transmittance of $130^{\circ}C$/4min, $110^{\circ}C$/4min, $160^{\circ}C$/6min process condition was higher at ultraviolet wavelength range. These curing conditions could be regarded as the best process for suppression the discoloration speed of EVA Sheet under UV light.

The purpose of EVA sheet in PV module is to bond or laminate the multiple layers of a module. We studied the influence of EVA sheet gel content on photovoltaic module durability. Gel Content was measured by manufacturing Glass/EVA Sheet/Back Sheet scheme at several curing temperature. Through this experiment, we could confirm that there are changes on Gel Content of EVA Sheet. The transmittance of $140^{\circ}C$/4min process condition was more excellent than the other condition at ultraviolet wavelength range. The thermal stability of $150^{\circ}C$/4min process condition was higher than the other condition.

To survive in outdoor environments, photovoltaic modules rely on packaging materials to provide requisite durability. We analyzed the properties of encapsulant materials that are important for photovoltaic module packaging. The properties of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate(EVA) sheet in photovoltaic encapsulant materials have to meet conditions that are high optical transmittance, good adhesion and high cross-linking rate. The objective of this paper is to understand the property evaluation methods of EVA sheet. Through this research, we could confirm that properties of EVA sheet have an effect on durability and operating efficiency of photovoltaic module.

The physical properties of functionalized graphene sheet (FGS)/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) was examined with various kinds of EVA, having vinyl acetate (VA) contents in the range of 0 to 40 wt%. The compatibility between FGS and EVA was enhanced as the polar VA content of EVA increased. Thus, the dispersion of FGS in EVA became finer, and the decrease of surface resistivity and the increase of tensile modulus by the added FGS became more effective when the VA content of EVA was high. When the VA content was low, the elongation at break was reduced drastically by added FGS due to the poor adhesion of FGS/EVA interface. The crystallization of EVA was generally retarded by the interaction with dispersed FGS. However, when both the VA content of EVA and the added amount of FGS were low, the crystallization of EVA was enhanced, probably due to the predominant nucleating effect by FGS.

Nowadays, the number of PV module corporation is increasing due to demand growth of silicon solar module. However almost study of module is research about increasing of efficiency for it. This study is evaluation and development for process of module using the silicone encapsulation material instead of existing EVA sheet. We are changed adding material ratio on silicone and thickness of silicone. So we get better efficiency than EVA sheet through the evaluation for silicone liquid and modulation. Also, we are test after establishing manufacture system being able to quicker than existing modules line. The result of EVA sheet is average 207.47W and silicone material is 211.32W so we think that silicone is better than EVA sheet.

In this paper, we studied the influence of EVA sheet gel content on photovoltaic module durability. Depending on thermal curing temperature and time during lamination, there are dramatic changes on chemical and physical characteristics. To find the optimum PV module process condition, Glass/EVA/Back Sheet scheme was made. Gel Content, FT-IR spectrum and SEM were used for the detail analysis. From these results, $110^{\circ}C/6min$ and $130^{\circ}C/4min$ lamination condition could be suggested for the best one for durable PV module processing. The further analysis is described in the following paper.

Sheet based waterproofing methods are factory produced and have a advantage or forming uniform waterproofing layer in construction sites, allowing them to become a commonly used material domestically. Particularly in the case of EVA waterproofing sheets, they can be manufacturing using recycled materials and are thus increasing in application due to their eco-friendly factors. However, heating adhesion method has to be used in case of overlapping areas of waterproofing sheets, but not enough studies have been made on the adhesion stability based on different heat adhesion speed. In this paper, EVA sheets have been studied with their overlap area properties following a heat adhesion method in wintertime ambient conditions and have been observed for the changes in the tensile strength based on different head adhesion speed and rates. According to the results, 6~7m/min adhesion speed was shown to have produce the best tensile strength.

Safe, economical and environment-friendly tunnel construction are required again along with social continuous development, the importance of waterproof work that is portion that actually all of user and builder can find that is embossed by tunnel construction's one of important construction. Also, ECB (Ethylen Copolymer Bitumen) sheet that is used in existing tunnel waterproofing method (ECB waterproofing method) being black because asphalt (Bitumen) is added, by purpose that make illumination of tunnel interior brightly and scar discovery eases in sheet with coating white film, but ECB that is used present according as ECB that asphalt is added does not satisfy high tensile strength of construction field, quality standard of extension. Also ECB denigrates color of black M/B that asphalt is excepted.

일반적으로 PV모듈은 태양전지의 내구성을 보완하기 위해 유리, EVA, Back-sheet, Frame등을 사용하여 보호하게 된다. 이렇게 하나의 PV모듈로 만들어져 약 20년간 옥외에 노출 되면서 다양한 하중에 노출된다. PV모듈의 변형이 발생하면서 PV모듈 내부에 위치하는 태양전지도 다양한 원인에 의해 외부에서 힘을 받음으로써 변형이 일어나고 심지어 태양전지의 파손이 발생 되는 경우도 있다. 따라서 PV모듈 내에 존재하는 태양전지가 외부하중에 의한 내구성을 확보하기 위해서는 유리, EVA, Frame과 같은 PV모듈 구성소재가 하중에 대한 변형량을 분석함으로써 태양전지 파손을 방지할 수 있는 구조 및 재료 연구에 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이를 분석하기 위해 강화유리를 중심으로 EVA, 태양전지, Back-sheet의 적층화 과정에서 외부하중에 대한 변형량 비교와 강화유리, EVA 두께 변화에 따른 변형량, 라미네이션(Lamination)된 모듈과 프레임 사이의 접착력이 변형량에 어떤 영향을 미치는 확인하였다.

Field에 설치된 PV모듈은 가혹한 외부 환경에 노출되어 외부 하중, 온도 변화, 자외선, 수분 등의 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 PV모듈 내부로 수분이 침투 하였을 경우에는 태양전지와 전극의 부식 등 발전성능을 크게 저하시킬 수 있다. 이러한 외부 환경으로부터 태양전지가 안정적으로 발전할 수 있도록 PV 모듈은 전면재료인 유리와 후면재료인 Back Sheet를 진공 상태에서 압력을 가해 봉합하는 Lamination 공정을 거쳐 제작 되어 진다. 특히 Lamination 공정에 사용되는 EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate)는 PV모듈의 내구성능을 좌우할 수 있는 가장 중요한 재료중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Lamination 공정에 사용되어지는 EVA의 수분 침투의 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 공정 조건에 따른 EVA에 침투 되는 수분의 양을 확인하기 위해 Lamination 공정 조건을 변경하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그리고 외부 환경 변화에 의한 영향을 확인하기 위해 EVA가 수분에 노출 되는 시간과 온도를 변화시켜 보았다. 실험의 결과는 외부에 노출된 PV 모듈의 내부에 침투할 수 있는 수분의 양을 예상할 수 있게 하며, 수분 침투에 의한 내구성의 저하를 감소시키기 위한 최적의 Lamination 공정 조건과 봉합재 선정을 위한 기초 자료를 제공한다.
