The academics also found that the production of the sisal fibers emitted about 60% less CO2 and required 50% less energy than PET backsheets. “Solar panels with sisal fiber sheets exhibit adequate tensile strength and impact resistance and reduce operating temperature by 2–3 C, ensuring stable operation and minimizing heat loss,” they added.
