Discover innovative engineering composites that reduce costs, prioritize performance, and meet the demands of today’s solar energy market.
Advancements in technology and policy have made solar energy more efficient and more cost-effective than ever.
Solar panels are now installed in homes, businesses, small and large-scale solar farms, and offshore solar platforms, as well as production sites which include BASF locations.
With over a decade of experience in the solar industry, we have a deep understanding of the challenges customers face daily in terms of developing and manufacturing solar components. At BASF Engineering Composites, we are committed to being your dedicated partner in overcoming these obstacles and finding innovative solutions.
With special grades of engineering composites — Ultramid® (PA) and Ultradur® (PBT) — that can be fully customized to your needs and sustainability drives, BASF’s team of engineers and scientists are solutions providers, offering guidance on material selection, design, processing, and testing to help you meet and exceed the industry’s rigorous standards.
BASF’s portfolio of solar applications ensures your solar systems stay reliable, secure, and structurally sound through the toughest of weather conditions.
Our composite material solutions for flat-roof solar installations ensure manufacturing of high mechanical strength, high elongation at break, and are ready for outdoor use.
Connectors require housings to insulate contacts and exposed cable conductors, offering protection from the elements. Our composite materials have high tensile strength, toughness, and excellent UV resistance.
With a high comparative tracking index (CTI), high relative temperature index (RTI), and a UL 94 V-0 rating, our composite material ensures the consistent conversion of digital current (DC) energy from solar cells to alternate current (AC) energy.
With outstanding mechanical properties, a high comparative tracking index (CTI), and a UL 94 V-0 rating, our composite material for junction boxes offers long-term resistance against UV and impressive cold impact strength.
