Apollon Solar's NICE (New Industrial Solar Cell Encapsulation) module technology is an innovative technology to encapsulate and electrically interconnect solar The electrical series connection is made using an under-pressure in the module allowing the front and back glasses to press the copper ribbons directly onto the cell busbars. Contrary to standard modules, NICE modules do not use EVA-like encapsulants. Instead a PIB (Poly-Isobutylene) edge sealing is used to provide a barrier for moisture
