Novanext Energies Pvt. Ltd. is at the forefront of solar innovation, enhancing solar module performance and longevity. With the rapid evolution of cell technology like TOPCon and HJT, the company has introduced India’s most advanced low WVTR (Water Vapour Transmission Rate) backsheet—engineered to prevent cell blackening and power degradation in hot, humid conditions.
A Milestone in Solar Backsheet Manufacturing
Novanext has established India’s largest and most advanced solar backsheet manufacturing plant with a 6 GW capacity. This state-of-the-art facility sets industry benchmarks with backsheets that ensure superior durability, moisture resistance, and efficiency for next-generation solar modules.
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership
Novanext’s journey began with fluoro coating technology, a first for India. The company operates a fully automated 70-meter-long production line—the country’s largest, with a manufacturing width of 1600 mm. With a strong focus on innovation, Novanext is now a leader in advanced backsheet solutions.
Cutting-Edge Features of the Low WVTR Backsheet
The newly developed low WVTR backsheet offers exceptional protection and performance:
- Superior Light-Shielding – Uniform pigment distribution enhances efficiency and longevity.
- Unmatched Resistance to UV & Damp-Heat Aging – Extends module lifespan.
- Ultra-Low Water Vapour Transmission Rate – Less than 0.1 g/m² per day, ensuring superior moisture resistance.
- Strong Adhesion to EVA/POE Film – Ensures stable module construction.
- High Retention of Water Permeability Resistance – Maintains performance after prolonged damp-heat exposure.
Commitment to Quality and Industry Excellence
Novanext upholds the highest industry standards, rigorously adhering to IEC 62788-2, which includes tests for UV resistance, thermal cycling, humidity resistance, and electrical insulation. Its advanced Quality Control (QC) laboratory ensures every batch meets stringent specifications before integration into solar modules.
Recognizing its commitment to innovation and quality, Novanext received the Best Backsheet Manufacturer Award at a prestigious Pune expo. This accolade reaffirms its leadership in the solar energy sector.
Pioneering the Future of Solar Energy
As demand for high-performance solar modules rises, Novanext remains committed to advancing solar technology. By developing low WVTR backsheets, the company is paving the way for a more efficient and durable solar future, ensuring sustainable energy solutions for generations to come.
