Structural Protection Layer

PRG/AGR

HD-PGR / HD-AGR

Withstands a 25 mm ball at 16 m/s with ≤5% power degradation, and over 1000 kWh/m² UV resistance.

Hail is what kills glassless modules, and it does not kill them by breaking the surface. The impact travels through to the cells and leaves micro-cracks that show up months later as a yield shortfall nobody can trace.

The prepreg layer is the impact absorber that stops that. At 100–160 µm it sits between the front sheet and the cells, taking a 25 mm ball at 16 m/s with no significant visual defect and power degradation held to 5% or less.

Why this one

  • High impact resistanceWithstands impact from a 25 mm diameter ball at 16 m/s without significant visual defects and with ≤5% power degradation.
  • Weather resistance above 1000 kWh/m² UVWith damp-heat UV above 120 kWh/m² — double the UV figure of the CPC/CDPC structural sheet.
  • Organic material replaces glassLightweight construction without the structural penalty of removing the glass.
  • Over 90% light transmittanceAn impact layer that sits in the optical path has to be effectively invisible, and this one is.

Storage and shelf life

High storage stability; warranty period is three months under cool, dry storage. Storage below 40°C and under 35% humidity is recommended, and laminating process generality should be evaluated after that period.

Applications

  • Anti-cracking layer in C&I lightweight modules
  • Automotive-integrated modules
  • Carport and gas station canopies
  • Balcony modules

Supplied from

Suzhou, Jiangsu, China — and PT. Hondol Material Indonesia, Batam, for customers served from Indonesia.

Questions about PRG/AGR

Why is the storage period only three months?

Prepreg is a partially cured material, so its shelf life is genuinely shorter than a finished film. Store below 40°C and under 35% humidity, and re-evaluate lamination behaviour after three months.

Where does it sit in the stack?

Between the front film and the cells, as the anti-cracking layer — for example ETFE front film, HD-PGR prepreg, HD-SG-P backplate.

What thickness is supplied?

The prepreg layer runs 100 µm to 160 µm, with a 110 µm nominal construction for impact resistance and adhesion.
