Technical FAQs 4

What type of glass is used in solar panels?

Solar applications require flat glass. So-called Pattern Glass is mostly used as front glass in crystalline modules, whilst float glass is used for both substrate and back glass in thin-film modules. Molten glass is slowly cooled and fed off from the motlen tin.

What is a solar glass substrate?

Manufacturers of crystalline silicon solar modules apply glass substrates on the front side of the solar modules. This front glass will either be a patterned glass or a glass with anti-reflective coating (AR). As in all other glass manufacturing processes, solar glass substrates are subject to defects during produc-tion.

Can a glass-glass-module make a solar photovoltaic module more eco-friendly?

A glass-glass-module based on thin toughened glass on the front and back of a solar photovoltaic module can have a dramatic impact on its environmental capabilities. Johann Weixlberger* and Markus Jandl** explain.

Why do solar panels need float glass?

Ultra-bright glass needed with high solar transmission to ensure high efficiencies in the overall pv module. Mechanical strength to withstand snow and wind. Self-cleaning characteristics would help to reduce maintenance costs. Low iron float glass, solar transmission > 90%.
