Technical FAQs 4

How thick is a solar module?

Glass thickness per pane: 2 - 12 mm Hail protection: Protection class 5 (hailstone size 50 mm) Fire safety classification: B - s1, d0 according to European fire protection standard EN 13501-1. * The square-metre performance of the solar module depends on the specific format

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

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.

What is the thickness of glass used in IODs?

iods has made glass a preferred material choice for these applications. Glass thickness for these applications can range from 2.5 to 4 mm for architectural uses to as thin as 0.5 mm for information displays. Photovoltaic (PV) modules use tempered glass for
