What is a double-glass solar module?
ABSTRACT: Double-glass modules provide a heavy-duty solution for harsh environments with high temperature, high humidity or high UV conditions that usually impact the reliability of traditional solar modules with backsheet material.
Are bifacial double-glass modules a good choice?
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.
What is a double glass module?
The double glass module design offers not only much higher reliability and longer durability but also significant Balance of System cost savings by eliminating the aluminum frame of conventional modules and frame-grounding requirements. The application of double-glass modules covers multiple markets including utility, residential and commercial.
Are double-glass modules safe?
In addition, because of less micro-cracks and less moisture ingress, double-glass modules present a much lower risk of so-called “snail track” generation. A double-glass module was designed to pass fire-safety class A certification and UL1500V system voltage certification.
Are double-glass modules flammable?
Under exposure of a strong burning fire, double-glass modules present a high degree of resistance to ignition, do not propagate fire to the roof deck or other building material, do not slip from their mounting position, and are not expected to produce any flying burning debris. (Fig. 10, 11)
Do PV modules have tempered glass?
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.
