4 FAQs about Service life of double-glass and single-glass modules

Are double glass modules better than traditional modules?

Compared to traditional modules with backsheet, modules with double glass are stronger and more durable, presenting less degradation due to thermal cycling stress. Results from the thermal cycling test up to 400 cycles show about 35% to 43% less degradation with double- glass modules than with traditional modules with backsheet (Fig. 3).

What is a double glass module?

Double glass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet. With * Corresponding author. Tel.: +86 13776101913; fax: +86 51268961413.

Are double glass PV modules safe?

Double glass PV modules is an area of significant investigation by many companies and institutes in recent years, for example Dupont, Trina, Apollon, SERIS, MIT, Meyer Burger and Talesun. According to the literature, double glass also has some potential risks besides the abovementioned advantages.

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.
