Study of protective properties of polymeric coatings for portable solarcell arrays of the BSA-R type in tropical climate conditions

Abstract

The influence of factors of the tropical climate of Vietnam on a variation of functional properties of polymeric coatings for portable solarcell arrays has been studied by 12-month-long tests on the base of the Russian-Vietnamese Tropical Research and Technology Center. As a whole, full-scale environmental tests have shown that the new modifications of film materials proposed for face and rear protective coatings are superior in climatic resistance characteristics and parameter stability to the materials applied for these purposes earlier. The adhesive film Radeva-2AM and the film BSP are recommended for application in moist, tropical climates.
