To protect their internal workings – made up of layers of sealed photovoltaic cells that turn sunlight into electricity – solar panels are baked in special resin with a solution developed by ExxonMobil in the 1990s.
That baked resin formulation ultimately helps panels live through a typical 25-year working life expectancy.
That’s the dual life of these panels – a tough exterior facing the elements to protect the sophisticated and delicate heartbeat that is producing much-needed energy.
