4 FAQs about Double-glass module production disadvantages

Why should you choose a double glass module?

Despite the thinner front glass sheet, double glass modules maintain stability due to their total thickness of approximately 4 mm of glass. This design also offers superior protection from humidity, ammonia, salt spray, and even fire, making them a safer choice for long-term installations.

Are dual-glass PV modules failing?

Scientists and researchers at NREL, including Timothy Silverman and Elizabeth Palmiotti, are investigating early failure in dual-glass PV modules. Dual-glass PV modules are experiencing low-energy glass fracture at an alarming rate under expected conditions of use.

What happens if a PV module breaks a glass frame?

Additionally, debris such as sand and dust can become trapped between the frame and glass, leading to abrasion and micro-fractures. Studies have found that contact between glass and frames is linked to spontaneous breakage in some PV modules.

Why do PV modules use thinner glass?

Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs. As per NREL study, while panels commonly used 3.2-mm-thick glass earlier, modern double-glass modules often feature 2-mm glass. A 2-mm fully tempered glass can break with a high-energy fracture pattern (left) or a low-energy fracture pattern (right). Source: NREL

Understanding and preventing PV module glass fracture

Scientists and researchers at NREL, including Timothy Silverman and Elizabeth Palmiotti, are investigating early failure in dual-glass PV modules. Dual-glass PV modules are

Top 5: Factors Responsible for Glass Breakage in Solar Modules

PV module glass should never be in direct contact with metal frames, as even small vibrations and movements can cause cracks over time. Additionally, debris such as sand
