Technical FAQs 4

Why is glass important for solar energy?

Despite the abundance of solar radiation , significant energy losses occur due to scattering, reflection, and thermal dissi-pation. Glass mitigates these losses by functioning as a protective layer, optical enhancer, and spectral converter within PV cells.

Why do solar panels have tempered cover glass?

The minimal thickness of AGC's tempered cover glass also contributes to the overall efficiency of solar panel systems. The thinner glass allows more sunlight to reach the photovoltaic cells, increasing the panels' energy conversion efficiency.

What is cover glass for solar panels?

Cover glass for solar panels is a crucial component that serves as a protective barrier for the photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. It is typically made of tempered glass, specially treated to be more durable and resistant to environmental stressors.

Why should you choose AGC tempered cover glass for your solar panels?

Solar panels are a significant investment, ensuring their longevity and performance is crucial. AGC's hail-resistant tempered cover glass is designed to protect your solar panels from damage, ensuring they continue to generate clean, renewable energy for years to come.
