SABIC received a R&D 100 Award for their NORYL V0 resins laser-weldable materials designed to improve the manufacturing and durability of photovoltaic microinverters.
The chemical company SABIC won an R&D 100 Award for the sixth consecutive year, this time for the development of its NORYL V0 resins intended for the market of solar energy the award was granted within the Materials Science category.
Specifically, the technology is geared towards the manufacture of photovoltaic microinverters, components responsible for managing the conversion of electricity produced by solar modules.
In this way, the development combines materials science and manufacturing processes to meet requirements such as outdoor resistance, sealing, and fire safety.
The recognized family comprises the resins NORYL V0150TW, of an absorbing nature and NORYL V0150IR2, of a transmissive nature. Both were developed to work with laser welding processes applied to components intended for the photovoltaic sector.
Among its properties are the flame retardant greater resistance to weather conditions and sealing capabilities. These characteristics allow the manufacture of housings and components capable of withstanding the outdoor operating conditions typical of solar installations.
Furthermore, the use of laser welding allows components to be joined during the production process with a method adapted to the manufacturing needs of microinverters.
According to SABIC the combination of these features allows for faster and cleaner production processes while improving the external stability and reliability of the components.
On the other hand, SABIC’s NORYL V0 resins They seek to reduce several factors associated with the industrial production of photovoltaic components.
The company notes that the material can help reduce energy consumption during manufacturing, as well as reduce material waste and production costs.
Thus, the application is relevant in a sector that needs to increase equipment manufacturing as deployment grows solar generation optimizing components such as microinverters can influence both industrial processes and their performance during operation.
Resistance to environmental conditions is especially relevant because these devices remain exposed for long periods to temperature variations and other environmental factors.
This award marks the sixth consecutive year that SABIC has received recognition at the R&D 100 Awards. Since 2021, the company has accumulated seven awards and three finalist recognitions within this international competition dedicated to technologies, products and materials with technological relevance.
Likewise, NORYL V0 resins received a Edison Award within the Materials Science category, SABIC CEO and executive board member Faisal M. Alfaqeer linked the new recognition to the company’s strategy of solving industrial challenges through technological expertise and materials science.
With this application, SABIC positions its specialized materials within one of the technical areas that support the growth of photovoltaic solar energy, improving the components and processes necessary to manufacture them at scale.
