Solar Energy Solutions

 

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes are innovative and highly effective solutions in the assembly and long-term performance of solar panels and photovoltaic systems. From bonding panel frames and junction boxes, eliminating moisture ingress, to acting as thermal barriers and insulators, PSA tapes are a reliable alternative to traditional fasteners and liquid adhesives. Their design flexibility, weather resistance, and easy application make them ideal to help reduce costs and increase performance. 

At Engineered Materials, we supply OEMs and solar system manufacturers with custom-fabricated PSA tape solutions that support efficient, durable solar panel assembly to help maximize energy production.

 

We partner with leading adhesive tape manufacturers to create solutions that offer long-term UV resistance, strong and consistent bonding, and compatibility with a range of substrates including glass, metal, and plastic.  

Whether used for sealing, energy transfer, or as insulators, every material is specifically selected and converted to meet the unique performance needs of solar panel systems, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and consistent exposure to the environment. 

We partner with you to ensure your PSA tapes are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and engineered for reliable performance throughout the panel’s service life.

Why Use PSA Tapes for Solar Panel Installations?

Improve Performance, Durability, and Aesthetics

  • Boost your production efficiency by eliminating slow, labor-intensive processes. PSA tapes have fast, peel-and-stick application that form instant bonds.  

  • PSA tapes are versatile and bond to a variety of materials including glass, metals, plastics, and more. 

  • High durability against UV light, moisture, high and low temperatures, and climatic extremes. 

  • PSA tapes seamlessly conform to irregular surfaces, ensuring a consistent, gap-free connection that eliminates uneven and unreliable bonds. 

  • Easy repositionability reduces rework and assembly line waste. 

  • Replace mechanical fasteners with PSA tapes that have thin profiles, less weight, and no mechanical fatigue or wear on the substrate.

Our Process

Material Selection. Custom Fabrication. On-Time Delivery.

Magnifying glass

Discovery

We ask all the right questions to help you find the solutions to your adhesive issues. On which surfaces will the tape be applied? Is the surface rough, smooth, curved, or irregular? What are the weight requirements? Is the tape permanently placed or will it need to be removable? We take the time to understand the furniture you manufacture and where and how it will be used. Our discovery process is thorough, but we make it easy for you to find exactly what you need.

 
Selection

Material Selection

Choosing the right materials depends on the surfaces being bonded, their texture, and the environment in which the furniture will be used. We stock a wide range of adhesive transfer tapes, VHB (Very High Bonding) tapes, double and single-sided tapes, and many other materials specifically designed for any application. We help you select the right material and adhesive coat weight based on the furniture you manufacture and how the tape needs to be used.

 
Fabrication

Custom Fabrication

We custom fabricate all our materials to create the perfect fitting part for your furniture, every time. From laminating to slitting, die cutting, kiss cuts, laser and waterjet cutting, and so much more, we have the capabilities and experience to create any custom shape that fits your adhesive needs. Not sure exactly what you need? No worries! Our parts design specialists can help you with product design, prototyping, testing, and implementation of brand-new parts for your furniture!
