Technical FAQs 4

Are double-glass solar modules reactive or non-reactive?

Furthermore, comparing to plastic backsheets (the back material of single-glass solar module) which are reactive, glass is non-reactive. This means that the whole structure of Raytech double-glass solar modules (two layers of glass and one layer of solar cells in the middle) are highly resistant to chemical reactions such as corrosion as a whole.

What is the difference between double-glass solar panels and single-sided solar panels?

The main difference between double-glass photovoltaic modules and single-sided glass solar panels lies in their construction and design, which can impact their durability, performance, and applications. Construction: Double-glass modules consist of two layers of glass sandwiching the solar cells and other components.

Are double-glass modules better than single-sided glass panels?

However, advancements in glass technology have mitigated this issue to some extent. Weight: Double-glass modules are generally heavier than single-sided glass panels due to the additional glass layer. Applications: Double-glass modules are well-suited for environments with harsh weather conditions, high humidity, or corrosive elements.

What is the difference between Raytech double glass solar modules?

Whereas for Raytech double-glass solar modules, with the increased strength brought by two layers of glass, a lot less deformation will happen in the solar cells, the possibility of microcracks formed on the solar cells will decrease significantly.
