Dow Electronic Materials
Solar Materials Solutions

Throughout the solar value chain, Dow offers performance-enhancing Si-based solutions.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics
Innovative silicon-based solutions and expertise enable incorporation of renewable energy for durable, efficient and sustainable buildings.

PV Cells Interconnection and Encapsulation
DOW CORNING™ brand Electrically Conductive Adhesives provide the protection sensitive components demand in challenging solar environments. They allow for electrical bonding and provide encapsulation and durability for photovoltaic cells.

PV Module Assembly
Exposure to direct sunlight is a fact of life for solar panels, meaning protection from weather and UV radiation is critical for long-term durability. DOW CORNING™ brand encapsulants, sealants, adhesives and potting agent products provide the range of materials needed to ensure solar panels perform in real-world conditions.

PV Module Installation
Installers, integrators and module manufacturers can depend on the proven performance of DOW CORNING™ brand PV solar sealants and adhesives for cost-effective, durable mounting of solar panels. Rail bonding solutions from Dow Corning use a silicone adhesive to structurally attach glass, metal or other PV module material to the supporting structure (rail or pad).

Solar Thermal
With a range of innovative material solutions across the solar value chain, including DOW CORNING™ brand silicone for residential solar hot water heating systems, Dow helps make products and manufacturing processes more competitive - making renewable energy solutions more competitive with traditional energy sources.
