Double-glass module application scope

What is a double glass module?

Double glass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet. With * Corresponding author. Tel.: +86 13776101913; fax: +86 51268961413.

What is double glass photovoltaic module?

Preface To further extend the s rvice life of photovoltaic modules, double glass photovoltaic module has cently been develop d and st died in the PV community. Double lass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet.

Are double glass modules better than traditional modules?

Compared to traditional modules with backsheet, modules with double glass are stronger and more durable, presenting less degradation due to thermal cycling stress. Results from the thermal cycling test up to 400 cycles show about 35% to 43% less degradation with double- glass modules than with traditional modules with backsheet (Fig. 3).

What is the encapsulation reliability risk of double glass module?

The double glass module is superior to the conventional single glass module, which indicates that the encapsulation reliability risk of double glass module is good without delaminating risk. 90 Jing Tang et al. / Energy Procedia 130 (2017) 87–93 4 J. Tang et al./ Energy Procedia 00 (2017) 000–000 Fig. 3.

Are double glass modules safe?

In addition, because of less micro-cracks and less moisture ingress, double-glass modules present a much lower risk of so-called “snail track” generation. A double- glass module was designed to pass fire-safety class A certification and UL1500V system voltage certification.

How reliable is Canadian Solar's Dymond double glass module?

Canadian Solar’s Dymond double glass module passed 3 times IEC standard test and IEC 61730-2:2016 multiple combination of limit test and obtained VDE report, which fully indicate high lifetime and high reliability of this double glass module. This paper presents a detailed reliability study of Canadian Solar’s Dymond double glass module.
