By choosing heat strengthened glass panels on both sides, we have been able to use a thickness of 2.5mm and to demonstrate an excellent module resistance to all standard mechanical tests (up to 6700 Pa), even without a frame, and a weight of 24kg, only 25% heavier than a standard module.What is the thickness of a glass module?The thickness of the front glass generally used for this type of structure is 3.2 mm. 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.
What is double glass photovoltaic module?Preface To further extend the s rvice life of photovoltaic modules, double glass photovoltaic module has cently been develop d and st died in the PV community. Double lass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet.
What is a dual-glass module?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.
How much does a glass module weigh?The weight of glass-glass modules are still an issue, with current designs using 2 mm thick glass on each side for framed modules, the weight is about 22 kg, while 2.5 mm on each side will increase the module’s weight to 23 kg. Compared to traditional glass-foil modules, which are about 18 kg, this is a 20% increase in weight.
What is the thickness of a dualsun module?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. In both configurations, the photovoltaic cells are laminated between the front and rear sides of the module using an encapsulation material.
Why is white double glass PV module more powerful than transparent?Due to the high reflectance of white EVA, the power of white double glass module is higher than that of transparent double glass module by 2-4%.
