Solar glass module specifications

How can solarinspect ensure the quality of the finished modules?

To ensure the quality of the finished modules, the control of the dimensions and shape (rectangular-ity) of the glass substrates is essential. SolarInspect provides this capability parallel to the glass defect detection.

What G-value should a Photovoltaic Glass have?

Photovoltaic glass can be customized to achieve a solar factor between 6% and 41%. A low g-value is desirable to prevent overheating, especially in warm climates, as it prevents the interior temperature from rising too high due to the greenhouse effect.

Why do solar modules need to be inspected?

The ability to detect defects in glass panels and to reject this material from further processing helps solar module manufacturers to opti-mize the production process. To ensure the quality of the finished modules, the control of the dimensions and shape (rectangular-ity) of the glass substrates is essential.

Why is patterned glass used in crystalline solar modules?

In the production of crystalline solar modules pat-terned glass substrates are used in lieu of bare glass. Patterned glass increases the amount of incoming sunlight. Common optical inspection systems for quality assurance and process control are mostly designed for unstructured glass.
