A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term agreement for the purchase of energy between a consumer and a renewable energy developer. In a physical PPA, an organization agrees to build, maintain, and operate a renewable energy system either on the customer’s property (on-site) or off-site under a long-term contract with a third-party seller.
A busbar, a thin strip of copper or aluminum that conducts electricity between cells, is found in solar panels. It separates solar cells and sends the direct current that the cells receive from solar photons to the solar inverter, where it is converted into alternating current that can be used.
The Global PPA inverter busbar market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Solvay offers newly developed PPA materials for use in high-voltage e-motor and inverter busbars and other power electronics components. According to the company, it is accelerating the delivery of a brand-new generation of Amodel PPA to the automotive industry in order to meet higher performance and sustainability requirements for advanced electrical and electronic e-mobility applications.
The Amodel PPA AE 9933 and AE 9950 from the new Supreme range were made to work with e-motor and inverter busbars that run at 800 volts and higher. New halogen-free flame retarded Amodel Bios HFFR R1-133 and HFFR R1-145 are said to meet the growing trend of integrating the e-motor, power electronics, and gearbox into one consolidated electric drive system.
They combine best-in-class comparative tracking index (CTI) ratings with high thermal cycle shock resistance from -40 to 302 F. As a breakthrough compared to conventional PPA technology, they will also reportedly retain their CTI over time even These grades make it possible to create extremely compact systems with miniaturized components thanks to their excellent dimensional stability, heat resistance of more than 248 F, and CTI of more than 600 volts.
In addition, they provide UL94 V0 ratings for flammability without requiring halogenated flame retardants. The halogen-free formulation not only addresses safety concerns in the event of uncontrolled thermal excursion, but it also reduces the likelihood of electronic corrosion.
