Solar modules are getting bigger, thinner, and more powerful. But from Texas to Thailand, the same problem is appearing: broken glass. Not from hail or mishandling, but from cracks that spider from frame edges, splinter near clamps, and web across modules.
Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs which lead to glass breakage. Glass breakage is a growing concern for the solar power plant operators.
Glass on solar panels protects the internal components, keeps out dirt and moisture, and maintains electrical insulation. Earlier, glass breakages were mostly due to clear causes. Impact due to hailstones, wind-blown debris, or even human-caused incidents like vandalism have been one of the common causes.
In a highly competitive solar industry, cost of production, handling, and installation gives the business an edge over competitors. 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.
Our home solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment in Polish conditions. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control with remote management capabilities.
