Roman double-glass solar modules

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?

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 double glass PV module?

Double glass PV module is known as the ultimate solution for the module encapsulation technique. Although double glass modules have many advantages, they are not yet widely used in photovoltaic power plants, for which one important reason is the large power loss due to the transmission of light in the cell gap region.

How reliable is Canadian Solar's Dymond double glass module?

Canadian Solar’s Dymond double glass module passed 3 times IEC standard test and IEC 61730-2:2016 multiple combination of limit test and obtained VDE report, which fully indicate high lifetime and high reliability of this double glass module. This paper presents a detailed reliability study of Canadian Solar’s Dymond double glass module.
