6 FAQs about Comparison of front and rear glass of double-glass components

What is a double glass c-Si PV module?

Recently several double-glass (also called glass–glass or dual-glass modules) c-Si PV modules have been launched on the market, many of them by major PV manufacturers. These modules use a sheet of tempered glass at the rear of the module instead of the conventional polymer-based backsheet. There are several reasons why this structure is appealing.

Why are double glass modules symmetrical?

Mechanical constraints on cells: the fact that the structure of the double glass modules is symmetrical implies that the cells are located on a so-called neutral line, the upper part of the module being in compression during a downward mechanical load and the lower glass surface being in tension.

Are glass-glass modules frameless?

Glass-glass modules can also be frameless, which helps eliminate the cost of an extruded aluminum frame. However, glass-glass models with frames have a lower risk of breakage. As a result, most glass-glass modules come with frames in place. Compared with standard glass backsheet technology, framed modules with two layers of glass are heavier.

What is a dual glass module?

Our dual glass modules use the same internal circuit connection as a traditional glass-backsheet module but feature heat-strengthened glass on both sides. We produce the back glass with a unique drilling technique that ensures the reliability of both the junction box installation and the module.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of glass-glass modules?

Some key advantages of the glass-glass structure are: Glass-glass modules can also be frameless, which helps eliminate the cost of an extruded aluminum frame. However, glass-glass models with frames have a lower risk of breakage. As a result, most glass-glass modules come with frames in place.

Why are glass-glass bifacial modules becoming more popular?

Due to their better reliability, glass-glass bifacial configurations have a larger portion of the worldwide bifacial module market share. Glass shortages, weight concerns for larger format modules, and decreasing prices for transparent backsheets have caused some manufacturers to switch to a glass-transparent backsheet structure.
