  9. We are presently looking for a material that will be used to
  10. attach solar cells to an aluminum substrate. Cell efficiency
  11. decreases as the cell temperature increases. Films such as
  12. Tefsel and Tedlar are commonly used. These exibit good electrical
  13. insolation, but low thermal conductivities.
  14.  
  15. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
