Silicone rubber sheet, also called silicone rubber membrane or silicone diaphragm, is applied for the lamination process of solar photovoltaic modules. During the laminating period, silicone sheets transfer the laminator's temperature and pressure to modules. These panels are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing them to be applied to surfaces where traditional solar panels might be impractical. This unique covering layer is extremely resistant to outgassing* and related decomposing processes of EVA films. If your modules are glass/glass (rather than with a backer sheet), Steinbach's grey, durometer 55 silicone is a. .
