What kind of film is used for glass solars

Which solar glass products are suitable for thin film photovoltaic technology?

Range of coated solar glass products designed for thin film photovoltaic technologies, including a comprehensive choice of TCO glass (Transparent Conductive Oxide coated glass) products with haze and conductivity levels optimised to suit each specific thin film photovoltaic solar technology, also available on low iron glass.

What is Solar Photovoltaic Glass?

This article explores the classification and applications of solar photovoltaic glass. Photovoltaic glass substrates used in solar cells typically include ultra-thin glass, surface-coated glass, and low-iron (extra-clear) glass.

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 glass used for in a photovoltaic system?

In thin-film technology, glass also serves as the substrate upon which the photovoltaic material and other chemicals (such as TCO) are deposited. Glass is also the basis for mirrors used to concentrate sunlight, although new technologies avoiding glass are emerging. Most commercial glasses are oxide glasses with similar chemical composition.
