Black 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?

Why are double glass solar panels bifacial?

Thermal stability: The identical thermal expansion coefficients of the glass layers minimize stress on solar cells during temperature fluctuations. Dual-sided energy Capture: Many double glass modules are bifacial, allowing them to harness sunlight from both sides.

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 are the advantages of double glass solar panels?

Environmental shielding: Double glass modules provide excellent defense against moisture, corrosion, and UV radiation, reducing the risk of potential-induced degradation (PID). Thermal stability: The identical thermal expansion coefficients of the glass layers minimize stress on solar cells during temperature fluctuations.
