Performance Advantages
J.v.G. Diamond DESERT Films provide significantly improved electrical performance. High volume resistivity
and low leakage current improve electrical insulation
and enable „PID Zero“ performance. As illustrated in the
figures below, improved electrical performance results
in increasing energy yield.
Key Technical Attributes
Performance Advantages
• Significantly reduced degradation rates
• „PID Zero“performance
• 10-20x lower Water Vapor Transmission Rate
(WVTR)
• Outstanding Volume Resistivity
• No generation of acetic acid
• Non-yellowing

>3% more power with
• J.v.G Diamond DESERT Foil layer glass +3%
• J.v.G Diamond DESERT Foil layer backsheet +3%
• J.v.G Diamond DESERT Foil backsheet +3%
Nano coating in Foil we get more then 3% more power
output as “best EVA foils“. Converting/shifting of photons is the key technology to make it available for solar
cell conversion. Material is in internal tests (>1000 cycles proven) and in certification process. Ask for delivery time for your special need.
