From PV Magazine 02/25 Polymer -back shoes have received little attention in recent years, in the midst of doubts about sustainability and limited transparent polymer options. Instead, modulemakers used glass on both sides, especially in the large -scale project segment. About 45% of the modules that are currently being produced still have behind, and although the trend to glass glass is set to continue, the back-let demand is said to rise. “Predictions indicate that the global demand for polymer -rear materials will grow with an annual compound growth rate of 12% from 2021 to 2030,” said Karl Melkonyan, chief analyst…
