    Figure compares discoloration, as measured by Yellowness Index, of STR's formulations and two (2) competitor's encapsulant material. Resistance to discoloration is perhaps the most significant factor in selecting the proper encapsulant. An encapsulant that discolors in the field will reduce module efficiency, potentially dropping the output below the power warranty and leading to costly claims and a poor reputation for quality.
