Memory Jog - Clear EVA Backing [RE-wrenches]

[Jerry Caldwell]

ASE, now owned by RWE, makes 300 watt double glass
modules with an option for the clear encapsulant with
no white backsheet.

I have also seen Sanyo 190 watt modules made the same
way, but I don't know how available they are.  Good
luck.
