4 FAQs about Double-glass module field capacity

What is a double glass module?

The double glass module design offers not only much higher reliability and longer durability but also significant Balance of System cost savings by eliminating the aluminum frame of conventional modules and frame-grounding requirements. The application of double-glass modules covers multiple markets including utility, residential and commercial.

What is the bifaciality of a double glass module?

Bifaciality: The bifaciality of double glass modules produces a gain of around 10-11% compared to the power measured on the front panel alone, for TOPCon type modules under so-called BNPI (bifacial nameplate irradiance) test conditions.

Why are double glass modules symmetrical?

Mechanical constraints on cells: the fact that the structure of the double glass modules is symmetrical implies that the cells are located on a so-called neutral line, the upper part of the module being in compression during a downward mechanical load and the lower glass surface being in tension.

How much does a glass module weigh?

The weight of glass-glass modules are still an issue, with current designs using 2 mm thick glass on each side for framed modules, the weight is about 22 kg, while 2.5 mm on each side will increase the module's weight to 23 kg. Compared to traditional glass-foil modules, which are about 18 kg, this is a 20% increase in weight.
