Get StartedGlass-glass module structures (Dual 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.
Dual-glass type modules (also called double glass or glass-glass) are made up of two glass surfaces, on the front and on the rear with a thickness of 2.0 mm each. Some manufacturers, in order to reduce the weight of the modules, have opted for a thickness of 1.6 mm. DualSun has chosen to stay with a thickness of 2.0 mm for reasons explained below.
Two types of photovoltaic module structures coexist: Glass-polymer film (also called glass-backsheet) type modules. They are made of glass on the front side and polymer film on the rear side.
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.
The only feasible way for tempered glass to be widely used in solar modules is its application in single-glass modules. The prevailing benchmark for hail resistance, which stipulates that solar modules must be capable of withstanding impacts from hailstones up to 35mm in diameter, may fall short in areas frequently subjected to larger hailstones.
The choice of glass in a PV module has become a key consideration in efforts to improve durability in the face of extreme weather conditions.
