Technical FAQs 4
Which glass is considered a superstrate for a PV module?
We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module were performed based on the stress magnitudes obtained from the FEA computations.
What are the optimal design parameters for a glass-glass PV module?
This study finds the optimal design parameters of the support structure consisting of two C-Chanel that support the Glass-Glass PV module having thin glass on top and SLG at the bottom. Based on analysis described here, it was found that optimal channel location from free edges is close to L/5 that gives mechanical reliability of 0.99.
How does weather affect photovoltaic modules?
Photovoltaic modules can be affected by multiple environmental factors in actual outdoor use, while extreme weather such as snowstorms and gale-force or higher winds necessitates a higher load performance.
How do PV panels work?
In the direct method, typically, PV cells are sandwiched between two glass substrates and the sandwich panel is installed and positioned towards sunlight. The PV panel is subjected to rigorous loading cases designed to predict the mechanical reliability before it can be approved for a commercial use.
