Scapa Solar Module Tape Solutions
To meet the demands of the Photovoltaic (PV) industry, Scapa has developed highly specialised solar tapes, foams, and films for various applications including frame sealing, junction box mounting, cell positioning, laminate fixing and cable management.
With decades of experience in the production of high-tech adhesive solutions, Scapa is proud of their innovative approach to delivering new products which meet the evolving requirements of industry standards including EN 61215:2005 and DIN IEC 61646.
Scapa solar tapes can be tailored to meet individual requirements - our specialist sales and technical personnel are always on hand to recommend the most appropriate solar panel material for each particular application.
In addition to in-house testing, Scapa are also proud members of the recognised German Association the BSW, and validate their product expertise by working closely with a number of leading testing Institutes such as the TÜV. These bodies allow Scapa to form close ties with technical experts and confirm suitability for key market applications.

Solar tapes that meet demanding climate tests
Scapa foam bonding tape solutions offer the highest level of strength, security and durability in the photovoltaic solar energy market and are ideally suited to both automated and manual production assembly environments
Working together with the leading TÜV Rheinland Renewable Energies Institute and UL® (Underwriters Laboratories), Scapa confirms that its’ products have successfully been qualified to meet the demanding climatic tests of both the IEC 61215: 2005 Standard and UL 746C (UL 1703).
Specifically, all climatic tests of this technical standard were performed to evaluate the durability of Scapa foam fixing tapes for PV module framing. These included rigorous considerations of performance after: thermal cycling, humidity freeze, damp heat, dielectric withstand and wet leakage current tests and following this analysis, no visual defects or insulation loss was detected.
Scapa products can be tailored to meet individual requirements. Our specialist sales and technical personnel are always on hand to recommend the most appropriate product to meet the demands of the Photovoltaic industry.
