Yes Glass/glass (G/G) photovoltaic (PV) module construction is quickly rising in popularity due to increased demand for bifacial PV modules, with additional applications for thin-film and building-integrated PV technologies.
The encapsulated glass used in solar photovoltaic modules (or custom solar panels), the current mainstream products are low-iron tempered embossed glass, the solar cell module has high requirements for the transmittance of tempered glass, which must be greater than 91.6%, and has a higher reflection for infrared light greater than 1200 nm. rate.
1. Introduction Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a widely recognized, fast-growing, and low-cost renewable energy technology that generates clean power from solar radiation to combat the energy crisis and global climate change. Large-scale PV deployment and utility-level solar energy conversion are currently witnessing exponential growth .
... The popularity of glass/glass (G/G) photovoltaic (PV) module designs is growing rapidly due to an increased demand for bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules, with additional applications in thin-film and buildingintegrated technologies.
Photovoltaic glass is one of the best materials to protect crystalline silicon and has high self-transmission rate for a long time. Therefore, the optical properties of photovoltaic glass are an important factor outside the crystalline silicon technology.
Another trend in PV modules is increasing cell and module size. Combined with lower series resistance due to the half-cut cells, the current going into the junction box increases. That could lead to reliability issues down the road.
