What are the mass production standards for solar glass

What is a solar glass substrate?

Manufacturers of crystalline silicon solar modules apply glass substrates on the front side of the solar modules. This front glass will either be a patterned glass or a glass with anti-reflective coating (AR). As in all other glass manufacturing processes, solar glass substrates are subject to defects during produc-tion.

Why is Solar Photovoltaic Glass so popular?

With global attention on environmental protection and energy efficiency steadily rising, the demand for solar photovoltaic glass in both commercial and residential construction sectors has significantly increased. The desire to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint has driven the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic glass.

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.

What is Solar Photovoltaic Glass?

This article explores the classification and applications of solar photovoltaic glass. Photovoltaic glass substrates used in solar cells typically include ultra-thin glass, surface-coated glass, and low-iron (extra-clear) glass.
