Is the surface coating the same as &#039;encapsulation&#039;, or is there a fundamental difference?<br /> <br /> It looks like distributed encapsulation can be a reality - given that PMMA and EVA appear to be readily available off-the-shelf? Is there any particular block to distributed lamination with PMMA and EVA? Does industry standard encapsulation start with resin, or do they start with sheets for the encapsulation process?<br /> <br /> ==A==<br /> <br /> They can both work as an encapsulant but just coating with PMMA is not normal.<br /> <br /> Yes - I think we can get to distributed encap relatively easily for small scale PV modules; for the larger ones you start to run into no market for small batches of large scale encapsulation sheets. Industry normally uses a resin and then attaches it to glass or back sheets in a sandwhich.</div>
