Abstract :
Aliphatic polyurethane known as ColoFast possess excellent UV stability and mechanical properties. All polyurethane systems consist of two predominant components; Polyols and Isocyanates. These are completed with a number of additives. Synthesis of polyurethane is done using reaction injection molding technology. The ColoFast frame is an electrical isolator and seals the Solar Panel from moisture or humidity. The panels were tested according to the IEC 1215 International Standard
