3M is a leading manufacturer of tapes for a variety of applications and industries. We offer a broad range of high performance and specialty tapes for bonding, protecting and masking and conductive and dielectric tapes that collect and route electrical charge in solar modules. 3M Solar Tapes can help you control costs, enhance efficiency, speed assembly and improve reliability.

3M is one of the world’s leading suppliers of advanced films, including materials that provide a barrier against moisture, precision-coated structured films that help increase module power, and dielectric products that help improve the aesthetic of the module.

3M solar power materials leverage years of weathering science and durability testing to perform in the module for the 25+ year lifetime of a c-Si module. At the same time, these advanced materials help increase energy output, enhance durability, and improve the assembly process of the module – driving down the cost per watt.

3M solutions for thin film modules range from conductive and dielectric tapes that collect and route electrical charge to enhance the movement of electrons within the solar module, to barrier films that replace glass and enable flexible module form factors and higher throughput module attachment solutions.
