4 FAQs about Solar Lightweight Module Glass

What is the difference between glass and plastic solar modules?

Glass/Glass modules withstand air and moisture and offer best cell protection, while plastic backsheets of glass/foil modules become porous. The Glass/Glass composite protects solar cells against micro cracks and thus ensures long-term operating life of 40 years and more.

What are Sunman energy's lightweight PV modules?

Sunman Energy’s lightweight PV modules are aimed at C&I rooftops unable to bear the weight of a typical glass module. Image: Sunman An estimated 40% of commercial and industrial buildings are unable to sustain the weight of a typical PV system using glass modules.

Do commercial and industrial rooftops support glass modules?

Current estimates suggest that nearly 40% of commercial and industrial rooftops cannot support traditional glass modules due to structural load limitations. This equates to millions of potential users globally—businesses that want to harness solar energy but are constrained by their building designs.

What makes Sunman a lightweight PV system?

Thomas Bell: The original idea for Sunman’s lightweight modules stemmed from recognising the need to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional glass PV systems, particularly regarding rooftop load-bearing issues that can prevent the installation of PV systems.
