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.
Recently several double-glass (also called glass–glass or dual-glass modules) c-Si PV modules have been launched on the market, many of them by major PV manufacturers. These modules use a sheet of tempered glass at the rear of the module instead of the conventional polymer-based backsheet. There are several reasons why this structure is appealing.
Targray’s portfolio of high-efficiency multicrystalline solar modules is built to provide EPCs, installers, contractors and solar PV developers with reliable, cost-effective material options for their commercial and utility-scale solar energy projects.
Double-glass modules boast increased reliability, especially for utility scale PV projects. These include better resistance to higher temperatures, humidity and UV conditions and have better mechanical stability, reducing the risk of microcracks during installation and operation.
Various encapsulant materials can be considered. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) has been used for a long time for glass–glass PV modules, particularly for thin-film modules.
In this study, we perform a comparative LCA of PV electricity generation in Singapore by various p-type multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) PV technologies, which is forecasted to maintain their dominance (~50%) in the PV market in the next 10 years .
