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.
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.
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.
Double-glass PV modules undergo a lamination process, where two sheets of glass encase the solar cells. During this step, heat and pressure bond the materials together. If the process is not precisely controlled, edge pinch can occur—where the glass edges become compressed unevenly, creating built-in stress. Edge pinch and resultant stress.
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.
Bubbles in the glass panel, for example, may induce a mechanical stress in the material that can lead to glass breakage during lamination or other processing steps. …
