Lithuanian monocrystalline double-glass modules

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.

Are double-glass PV modules durable?

Double-glass PV modules are emerging as a technology which can deliver excellent performance and excellent durability at a competitive cost. In this paper a glass–glass module technology that uses liquid silicone encapsulation is described. The combination of the glass–glass structure and silicone is shown to lead to exceptional durability.
