Double-glass solar panel conversion efficiency

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.

What is a double glass solar panel?

Traditional solar panels typically feature a glass front and a polymer backsheet. 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.

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.

How much does a double glass panel weigh?

The double-glass panels measure 2,278 mm x 1,134 x 32 mm and weigh 32 kg. They feature 2.0 mm heat-strengthened glass, with anti-reflective coating. The modules have IP68 junction boxes and anodized aluminum alloy frames. They can operate with a system voltage of 1,500 V and in temperatures ranging between -40 C and 85 C.
