Simplifying the solar panel with composites Replacing glass and aluminum with a polymer/cored polymer composite laminate ups panel
This research proposes and evaluates a lightweight PV module concept using glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) based on epoxy composites within the module stack. The usage of GFRP as front material as proposed in this work, reduces weight by 44–74 % compared to conventional glass-back sheet modules.
In this paper, we propose to use glass optical fibers with a rectangular cross-section for the application in a concentrator photovoltaic and daylighting system (CPVD) due to the unique characteristics of rectangular fibers with the capability to provide a uniform rectangular beam shape and a top-hat profile at the output.

Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells. Glass-glass encapsulation, low-iron tempered glass, and anti-reflective coatings improve light management, durability, and efficiency.
Composite materials, such as reinforced polymers, have a high strength to weight ratio and are therefore often applied in high-performance, lightweight aerospace applications . GFRP structures can provide excellent mechanical support to PV cells [6, 7], while being less brittle and more elastic than glass panes .
