6 FAQs about Double-glass component safety performance

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.

What is the encapsulation reliability risk of double glass module?

The double glass module is superior to the conventional single glass module, which indicates that the encapsulation reliability risk of double glass module is good without delaminating risk. 90 Jing Tang et al. / Energy Procedia 130 (2017) 87–93 4 J. Tang et al./ Energy Procedia 00 (2017) 000–000 Fig. 3.

Are double glass modules safe?

In addition, because of less micro-cracks and less moisture ingress, double-glass modules present a much lower risk of so-called “snail track” generation. A double- glass module was designed to pass fire-safety class A certification and UL1500V system voltage certification.

What is double glass PV module?

Double glass PV module is known as the ultimate solution for the module encapsulation technique. Although double glass modules have many advantages, they are not yet widely used in photovoltaic power plants, for which one important reason is the large power loss due to the transmission of light in the cell gap region.

Are double glass modules better than traditional modules?

Compared to traditional modules with backsheet, modules with double glass are stronger and more durable, presenting less degradation due to thermal cycling stress. Results from the thermal cycling test up to 400 cycles show about 35% to 43% less degradation with double- glass modules than with traditional modules with backsheet (Fig. 3).

Do double glass modules have a better resistance to PID?

Double glass modules have superior moisture barrier properties and are expected to have a much better resistance to PID. Four Double-glass modules were subjected to a PID test under different conditions (-1000V, 65°C and 85°C, 85% R.H.) for 96 hours.
