Solar Energy

Solar Manufacturing & Installation Made Easy

Our North American manufacturing footprint allows us to deliver high-performance materials for solar module production and installation with speed, consistency, and reliability. From encapsulants and sealants for module assembly to integrated flashing for leak prevention during installation, our locally produced solutions help manufacturers and installers meet quality, efficiency, and sustainability goals. By combining advanced materials with regional production and support, we enable solar projects that are built to last and perform at their best throughout their lifecycle.

Solar Module Manufacturing

The solar industry is evolving rapidly, and high-performance materials are critical to building modules that deliver long-lasting efficiency, reliability, and safety. No two solar panels are alike—from cell type to design, manufacturers need materials tailored for their unique requirements. Our portfolio of solutions for solar module assembly—including encapsulants, edge and frame sealants, and J-box potting compounds—helps protect against moisture and environmental stress, improve mechanical stability, and maximize energy output over the lifetime of the panel.

Solar Installation

Successful solar installations depend on materials that protect systems from environmental exposure while ensuring long-term performance. Our integrated flashing solutions are designed to prevent leaks and water intrusion during installation, providing a durable barrier that safeguards rooftops. With these high-performance materials, installers can deliver secure, weather-resistant systems that maximize energy production and minimize maintenance over the life of the installation.
