Hi All, I'm new to the forum so be gentle - haha. I am planning to make some homemade solar panels and I want to cover them in something that is lightweight and easy to cut. I found a type of acrylic sheet called Optix made by Plaskolite. My primary concern with using this would be that it might warp or even melt. I have attached the spec sheet for this material and it has some heat ratings along with many other specs. After reading the sheet I also noticed that there is an insulation value which should help to reduce heat somewhat. However, I also noticed that there is a UV protection property. Would that affect the solar cells ability to capture solar energy? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or help you can provide.
