The present invention provides a photovoltaic device having an active face, an active area on the active face and an operating wavelength range; and a cover element attached to the photovoltaic device and disposed over the active area of the active face of the photovoltaic element, the cover element having an opacity of at least about 25%. The present invention also provides photovoltaic systems, arrays, roofs and methods using such photovoltaic devices. In one embodiment of the invention, the photovoltaic device is a photovoltaic roofing element in which a photovoltaic element is integrated with a roofing substrate.

Photovoltaic devices including cover elements, and photovoltaic systems, arrays, roofs and methods using them

A roofing membrane includes first and second layers. The first layer includes a low surface energy polymer. A method of installing the roofing membrane includes, along an edge of a first membrane, mechanically removing a portion of the first membrane extending vertically to include the first layer and a portion of the second layer to leave a flap of the first membrane, placing an edge of a second membrane to overlap the first membrane, and bonding the first membrane to the second membrane. The underside of the edge of the second membrane overlies the flap of the first membrane.

Method of installing a roofing membrane

The invention discloses herein the use of short wavelength infrared energy to selectively control the locations where thermal fusing or bonding takes place or does not take place in an industrial fabric. Also, the method involves forming a mushroom cap on the tail of a fiber/yarn or monofilament and also creating a surface pattern formation.

Process for producing papermaker's and industrial fabrics

A roofing material includes a first layer including a fluoropolymer, a second layer directly bonded to and directly contacting the first layer, and a third layer underlying the second layer. The second layer includes an unfunctionalized olefinic polymer. The third layer includes a polymeric material and a filler.

Roofing membrane

An industrial process fabrics having embossed surfaces to facilitate water removal from the product such as paper and paper products being carried thereon by creating voids through embossing to assist in fluid management.

Industrial process fabric

The present invention relates to an article of paper machine clothing for use in high temperature applications, which article comprises:

Paper machine clothing

This invention relates to paper machine clothing and has particular reference to paper machine clothing suitable for use in the forming, presing and drying sections of a papermakng machine and comprises a monofilament and/or staple fibre in which themonofilament or staple fibre comprises a polyamide material which has been subjected to a treatment with an aqueous solution of aldehyde in the presence of a catalyst to effect partial cross-linking of the polyamide to provide a gel content thereof within the range of 0.1-75%.
