General comment The PV backsheet is on the outermost layer of the PV module. It is designed to protect the inner components of the module, specifically the photovoltaic cells and electrical components from external stresses as well as act as an electrical insulator. Backsheet is a 0.4 mm plastic sheet used in most of the panels on the market today. Made from specific materials, the back sheet contributes to the performance and longevity of the solar panel. It serves as the outermost layer on the ground-facing side or the bottom of the panel. A solar Backsheet is typically made from a polymer or a combination of polymers.
