Technical FAQs 4

Are bifacial double-glass modules a good choice?

There has been a noteable shift from the initial single-facial single-glass modules to bifacial double-glass modules. Double-glass modules, with their performance in the face of salt mist, high temperatures and high humidity, have won the market’s favour. However, this trend is not without its risks.

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 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.

Why should you choose glass in a PV module?

The choice of glass in a PV module has become a key consideration in efforts to improve durability in the face of extreme weather conditions.
