What is a double glass solar module?

In the ever-evolving world of photovoltaic technology, double glass solar modules are emerging as a game-changer. By encapsulating solar cells between two layers of glass, these modules offer unparalleled durability and efficiency. But what exactly sets them apart? What are double glass solar modules?

Why is double glass important for solar panels?

Double Glass is especially important in photovoltaic facilities such as solar power plants and with the expected long service life of modules such as AKCOME, Jinergy or Jolywood. Why solar panels with glass-glassTechnology? Why is solar double glass more durable?

What is a double glass module?

In contrast, double glass modules replace the polymer layer with another glass sheet, creating a robust sandwich structure. At IBC SOLAR, we use 2,0 mm x 2,0 mm glass layers, whereas some other market offerings use thinner 1,6 mm x 1,6 mm layers. This ensures greater durability and longevity.

What is a glass-glass solar panel?

Glass-glass module structures (Glass Glass or Double Glass) is a technology that uses a glass layer on the back of the modules instead of the traditional polymer backsheet. Originally double-glass solar panels were heavy and expensive, allowing the lighter polymer backing panels to gain most of the market share. Thanks to producers such as:
