In addition, glass-glass solar modules have a longer service life and less degradation than their glass-film counterparts, which also has a positive effect on the CO2 footprint. As to the kWh generated, the frameless glass-glass module causes 22 to 27 percent fewer CO2 emissions than the glass-backsheet module, the researchers explained
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.
In the process, they also found that glass-glass modules enable an additional emissions reduction ranging between 7.5 to 12.5 percent compared to PV modules with backsheet films, regardless of their production location.
Modules based on silicon solar cells are dominating the photovoltaic (PV) market and are considered as a green technology for the supply of renewable and emission-free energy.
In a new study, researchers at the Fraunhofer ISE have calculated that silicon photovoltaic modules manufactured in the European Union produce 40 percent less CO2 than modules manufactured in China.
Glass-backsheet modules: P = 366 W p, η = 19.79%. Glass-glass modules: P = 359 W p, η = 19.40%. Including production, transport and end-of-life. Excluding BOS, installation and operation. Results of glass-backsheet modules produced in Germany are scaled to 1. Absolute values are given in SI.
