Can the back of a double-glass module generate electricity?
📌

What is a double glass solar module?

In the ever-evolving world of photovoltaic technology, double glass solar modules are emerging as a game-changer. By encapsulating solar cells between two layers of glass, these modules offer unparalleled durability and efficiency. But what exactly sets them apart? What are double glass solar modules?

📌

Are double glass modules bifacial?

Dual-sided energy Capture: Many double glass modules are bifacial, allowing them to harness sunlight from both sides. This can lead to energy gains of up to 25%, especially when installed over reflective surfaces.

📌

What is a double glass module?

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. This ensures greater durability and longevity.

📌

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.

📌

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.

📌

Why do bifacial modules have glass panels?

Manufacturers tend to prefer glass panels on both the front and rear sides of a bifacial module because these designs tend to better transmit light and are more resistant to inclement weather, moisture permeation, corrosion, and more excellent mechanical load ability.
