Abstract Two types of commercially applied Ethylene/Vinyl Acetate Copolymers (EVA) for encapsulation of photovoltaic modules were investigated by the thermal analysis methods of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) in the temperature range from −150 °C to 200 °C. Glass transition, crystal melting and cross-linking were analyzed. The aims of the investigations were to gain more information for incoming goods control and to get information about the whole temperature dependent material properties in the investigated temperature range, starting at very low temperatures up to the crosslinking temperature region.
