Technical FAQs 4

What is Photovoltaic Glass?

Photovoltaic glass is a special type of glass that utilizes solar radiation to generate electricity by laminating into solar cells, and has relevant current extraction devices and cables. The glass used in photovoltaic power generation is not ordinary glass, but TCO conductive glass.

Why is Solar Photovoltaic Glass so popular?

With global attention on environmental protection and energy efficiency steadily rising, the demand for solar photovoltaic glass in both commercial and residential construction sectors has significantly increased. The desire to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint has driven the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic glass.

What raw materials are used in Photovoltaic Glass production?

The raw materials used in the production of photovoltaic glass raw materials include soda ash, quartz sand, feldspar, dolomite, limestone, mirabilite, etc. Quartz sand and soda ash are not only the main components in material input, but also the two types of raw materials that have a significant impact on material costs.

What is solar glass?

Solar glass refers to glass panels designed to serve as a medium for photovoltaic (PV) systems. Unlike regular glass, which primarily functions as a protective and decorative surface, solar glass is engineered to allow light to pass through and interact with embedded photovoltaic cells.
