Glass-glass PV modules (b) do not require an aluminum frame and therefore have a lower carbon footprint than PV modules with backsheet (a). Although photovoltaic modules convert sunlight into electricity without producing emissions, PV-generated solar energy does produce CO2 emissions during production, transport and at the end of module life.
Glass-glass module structures (Glass Glass or Double Glass) is a technology that uses a glass layer on the back of the modules instead of the traditional polymer backsheet. Originally double-glass solar panels were heavy and expensive, allowing the lighter polymer backing panels to gain most of the market share. Thanks to producers such as:
Double-glass PV modules are emerging as a technology which can deliver excellent performance and excellent durability at a competitive cost. In this paper a glass–glass module technology that uses liquid silicone encapsulation is described. The combination of the glass–glass structure and silicone is shown to lead to exceptional durability.
Glass-glass modules also have a longer lifetime and lower annual degradation than modules with a film, which further improves their carbon footprint. In terms of kilowatt hours generated, frameless glass-glass modules produce 22 to 27 percent less CO2 emissions than glass-foil modules.
Glass glass modules degrade less over the years due to the strength of the glass. Glass-glass modules degrade less over the years due to the strength of the glass. The photovoltaic panel is more resistant to blown sand and corrosion in general. It better withstands gusts of wind and mechanical snow loads.
Photovoltaic glass is a special type of glass that utilizes solar radiation to generate electricity by laminating into solar cells, and has relevant current extraction devices and cables. The glass used in photovoltaic power generation is not ordinary glass, but TCO conductive glass.
