N-type cells are sensitive to water vapor. Infiltrated water vapor can cause severe corrosion. Conventional backsheets with a barrier specification (WVTR<2 g/m²·day) no longer meet the requirements, and backsheets with much lower water vapor transmission rate are needed. Zeitwise water vapor barrier film enables backsheets with ultra-low WVTR (WVTR<0.1 g/m²·day).
The fabricated low-WVTR single-glass high-efficiency modules are suitable for high-humidity environments, especially near-water or floating power stations.
