Oct 2, 2024 · For instance, the transition from 3.2mm to 2.8mm for single-glass modules and 2mm for double-glass modules, and even to 1.6mm, necessitates a careful consideration of the glass...
Double glass modules use double sided low iron tempered glass with solar cells laminated in between. Double glass modules are ideal for roofs, skylights and/or facades. Double glass modules can not only be used as a part of construction material for a building, but also as a source of electricity.
There has been a noteable shift from the initial single-facial single-glass modules to bifacial double-glass modules. Double-glass modules, with their performance in the face of salt mist, high temperatures and high humidity, have won the market’s favour. However, this trend is not without its risks.
Among the current module products on the market, only single-glass modules are equipped with tempered glass. The choice of front and shear materials is critical in determining the module’s ability to withstand hail impacts. Over the past decade, the PV industry has experienced a great revolution.
The choice of glass in a PV module has become a key consideration in efforts to improve durability in the face of extreme weather conditions.
The only feasible way for tempered glass to be widely used in solar modules is its application in single-glass modules. The prevailing benchmark for hail resistance, which stipulates that solar modules must be capable of withstanding impacts from hailstones up to 35mm in diameter, may fall short in areas frequently subjected to larger hailstones.
