Get StartedCrystalline silicon photovoltaics is the most widely used photovoltaic technology. Crystalline silicon photovoltaics are modules built using crystalline silicon solar cells (c-Si). These have high efficiency, making crystalline silicon photovoltaics an interesting technology where space is at a premium.
To meet specific requirements, we offer two advanced photovoltaic (PV) glass technologies: amorphous silicon and crystalline silicon, both fully customizable. Our glass can be customized to block the heat that enters the building and to provide the best insulation, thus avoiding the use of air conditioning and heating.
In late 2020, IEA PVPS released an updated LCI for PV systems that contains updates for crystalline silicon PV technology reflecting the year 2018, while some information, such as the amounts of auxiliary materials, are still based on 2011 .
Crystalline silicon solar cells are connected together and then laminated under toughened or heat strengthened, high transmittance glass to produce reliable, weather resistant photovoltaic modules. The glass type that can be used for this technology is a low iron float glass such as Pilkington Optiwhite™.
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.
"If I want to install a photovoltaic system in a European location with average irradiation values, I have a great influence on its climate friendliness with the choice of my PV modules," explains Dr. Holger Neuhaus, Head of Department for Module Technology at Fraunhofer ISE.
