Recently, the 3rd Perovskite & BIPV Technology Innovation and Application Forum was successfully held in Changzhou, China. Betterial was invited to attend the event and deliver a keynote presentation. In recognition of its outstanding innovation in photovoltaic encapsulation materials and strong industry reputation, the company received two prestigious honors:
- BIPV Photovoltaic Material Innovation Technology Award
- Top 10 Photovoltaic Material Brands in the BIPV Industry
These awards further recognize Betterial’s technological leadership and growing influence in the rapidly evolving Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) sector.
Innovative Encapsulation Solutions for Aesthetic BIPV Applications
Traditional BIPV systems often rely on colored glass front covers to achieve architectural aesthetics. However, these solutions typically suffer from lower light transmittance, higher costs, heavier weight, and long-term reliability challenges such as delamination and color inconsistency.
Leveraging its expertise in advanced polymer materials, Betterial has developed innovative encapsulation solutions specifically designed to address these challenges.
Betterial® Color Encapsulation Film
Designed for architectural applications, Betterial® Color Encapsulation Film combines outstanding aesthetics with excellent photovoltaic performance.
Key advantages include:
- Light transmittance of ≥85%
- Rich color customization for architectural design
- Minimal power loss compared with conventional colored modules
- Excellent balance between visual appearance and energy generation efficiency
The solution provides an innovative approach that enables BIPV projects to achieve both architectural creativity and economic value while supporting sustainable urban development.
Cost-Effective Colored Module Solutions
To further reduce the manufacturing cost of colored photovoltaic modules, Betterial has also developed multiple new-generation colored encapsulation films.
Compared with conventional colored glass, these materials offer significantly higher light transmittance while maintaining attractive visual effects, enabling a better combination of clean energy generation and green building design through reliable, high-performance encapsulation solutions.
Lightweight Encapsulation Solutions for Next-Generation BIPV
Beyond building façades, BIPV is increasingly being adopted on rooftops, particularly in existing commercial and industrial buildings where structural load capacity is limited. This growing demand has created an urgent need for lighter photovoltaic modules.
To address this challenge, Betterial has introduced a dedicated lightweight encapsulation solution.
At the core of this solution is LightUP® Lightweight Reinforced Frontsheet, which combines advanced polymer composite technology with optimized structural design to achieve an ideal balance between lightweight construction and high mechanical performance.
Key benefits include:
- More than 60% weight reduction compared with conventional glass modules
- Excellent impact resistance
- Superior weather resistance
- Long-term reliability for demanding outdoor applications
The solution is complemented by Betterial’s lightweight reinforced backsheets, high-reflectivity black backsheets, transparent backsheets, and advanced coating technologies developed by its subsidiary Wisdom, creating a comprehensive encapsulation system for lightweight photovoltaic modules.
This integrated solution opens new opportunities for:
- Existing commercial and industrial rooftops
- Buildings with limited load-bearing capacity
- Mobile energy applications
- Other weight-sensitive photovoltaic installations
Advancing Reliable Encapsulation for Perovskite Solar Cells
During the forum, Betterial also delivered a technical presentation titled:
“Thermoplastic Encapsulation Films for Stable and Reliable Encapsulation of Perovskite and Perovskite Tandem Solar Modules.”
The presentation introduced Betterial’s next-generation encapsulation film specifically developed for perovskite photovoltaics.
Through proprietary polymer grafting and nano-interconnection technologies, the material delivers:
- Rapid low-temperature lamination
- High peel strength after lamination
- Reduced residual polar small molecules
- Improved long-term storage stability
The product has successfully passed third-party testing and certification by organizations including the National Inspection Center and Suzhou Meihua.
Betterial has already established technical collaborations and sample evaluations with leading perovskite manufacturers such as GCL, Microquanta, Utmolight and Wonder, while also working with LONGi, Trinasolar, and Auner on encapsulation technologies for next-generation perovskite tandem solar cells.
Accelerating the Future of BIPV
Looking ahead, Betterial will continue to break through technological barriers and further improve the performance of its photovoltaic encapsulation materials.
By continuously enhancing the reliability and long-term stability of photovoltaic modules, the company aims to accelerate the integration of BIPV technologies into green buildings, promote broader adoption of innovative photovoltaic applications, and provide critical technological and industrial support for achieving global carbon neutrality and sustainable energy development goals.
