Why does Shunkang solar photovoltaic connector use PPO material as shell material?
The use of PPO (polyphenyl ether) material in Shunkang solar photovoltaic connectors has several major benefits as follows:
1. Excellent heat resistance:
PPO has a high continuous service temperature range, usually up to 120℃ to 140℃, which can meet the needs of solar cell pack in high temperature environment. Excellent heat resistance ensures that the connectors can maintain stable mechanical and electrical performance at high temperatures, improving the reliability of the system.
2. Good weather resistance:
PPO material has excellent UV resistance, weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. These features enable PPO connectors to withstand harsh outdoor environments such as direct sunlight, rain, snow and frost, ensuring long-term reliable operation.
3. High strength and rigidity:
PPO resin has high mechanical strength and rigidity, which can provide good structural support. This feature ensures that the connector will not deform or break under mechanical stresses such as force or impact, improving reliability.
4. Excellent electrical insulation performance:
PPO has excellent electrical insulation performance, which can effectively isolate different conductive components and avoid problems such as short circuit and leakage. The good electrical insulation performance ensures the safety and reliable operation of the photovoltaic system.
5. Lightweight and durable:
PPO materials have low density and are lighter than metal materials. The lightweight design reduces the weight of the connector, facilitating installation and maintenance. At the same time, it also reduces the structural stress and improves the overall reliability.
There is another important reason for Shunkang to choose PPO material. PPO material is environmental protection material. Shunkang Technology adheres to the concept of environmental protection and refuses to use materials that do not meet environmental protection standards.
1. Environmental friendliness:
PPO is a thermoplastic resin that does not produce large amounts of harmful chemicals or emissions during manufacturing. PPO is more environmentally friendly during recycling and disposal compared to certain plastics containing halogen or toxic metals.
2. Recyclability:
The PPO material itself is recyclable and can be recycled after the end of the useful life of the PV system. Recycling can reduce waste and reduce the impact on the environment.
3. Meet environmental standards:
At present, the solar photovoltaic industry has developed a series of environmental protection standards, such as RoHS(Restriction of the Use of certain Hazardous Substances Directive). PPO materials meet the requirements of these standards, do not contain harmful substances restricted in use, and meet the requirements of environmental protection laws and regulations.
4. Life cycle assessment:
Studies have shown that PPO connectors perform more environmentally friendly in terms of life cycle carbon footprint and energy consumption compared to metal connectors.
This is due to the fact that the manufacturing process and recycling process of PPO are relatively more environmentally friendly.
Based on the above factors, why does Shunkang Technology use PPO material as solar photovoltaic connector shell material? PPO material not only relies on its excellent heat resistance, weather resistance, mechanical strength, electrical insulation and other characteristics, but also performs well in environmental protection. Therefore,PPO PV connectors can be regarded as a more environmentally friendly solution that is very suitable for the manufacturing of solar PV connectors. PPO connectors are ideal for solar PV systems because of their ability to provide long-term reliable performance in harsh environments.
