Advanced performance of double-sided double-glass components

What is double glass PV module?

Double glass PV module is known as the ultimate solution for the module encapsulation technique. Although double glass modules have many advantages, they are not yet widely used in photovoltaic power plants, for which one important reason is the large power loss due to the transmission of light in the cell gap region.

What is a double glass module?

Double glass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet. With * Corresponding author. Tel.: +86 13776101913; fax: +86 51268961413.

What is the electrical performance of BYD double-glass modules?

The electrical performance of the BYD double-glass modules was as expected for multicrystalline cells, with power bins ranging from 245W to 265W for 60-cell modules, and from 295W to 315W for 72-cell modules. The modules were subjected to numerous accelerated ageing tests.

What is the maximum deformation of a double glass module?

The maximum deformation of long side is tested according to the mechancial load of +5400 Pa for DH1000h, and -5400 Pa for DH2000h. Test result is that double glass module has no problems such as bubbles and delamination after tested under the condition of distortion +DH2000h, and the power loss is 2%.
