Technical FAQs 4

What is a glass-glass module?

Glass-Glass module designs are an old technology that utilises a glass layer on the back of modules in place of traditional polymer backsheets. They were heavy and expensive allowing for the lighter polymer backsheets to gain the majority of the market share at the time.

How to install glass-glass solar modules?

Glass-glass solar modules can be installed both with or without frames. The mounting systems FAST, MATCH, LEVEL, NICER, LOCKUP, LOCKIN, LAYUP and LAYIN are especially suitable for the integration of glass-glass solar modules. Particularly anti-glare surface structures are used. Megasol Cell technologies: Mono HiR / Mono HiR RearCon

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 are the applications of glass-glass solar panels?

Applications include facades, railings, in-roof and on-roof applications, infrastructure structures (for example, dams, noise barriers, etc.), open spaces, carports, alpine and desert applications. Glass-glass solar modules can be installed both with or without frames.
