The Durable Module Materials (DuraMAT) Consortium brings together Department of Energy national laboratories, universities, and the photovoltaic (PV) industry to understand PV module degradation and enable high-energy-yield modules with a 50-year lifespan.
Upcoming Events
Oct. 27–28, 2026
DuraMAT Fall Workshop and Program Review
November 9, 2026
"Measuring and Modeling the Stress Factors for Photovoltaic Backsheet Degradation on the Module Back Side (Work in progress)" presented by Mike Kempe, NLR
