Base-line commercial glass has a solar transmission of 83.7%. I.e. 16.3% of the sun''s energy do not even get to the PV material. The energy loss is due - in equal parts - to reflection on the surface and absorption within the glass due to iron impurities. The density of glass is about 2,500 kg/m 3 or 2.5kg/m 2 per 1mm width.
Discussion Glass is undoubtedly an essential part of PV devices, and there is room for glass-related breakthroughs that could result in expanded net energy production of silicon based solar electricity. There is the possibility to develop CGs with reduced energy intensity and the need to reduce emissions from the flat glass production process.
Glass provides mechanical, chemical, and UV protection to solar panels, enabling these devices to withstand weathering for decades. The increasing demand for solar electricity and the need to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions demands new materials and processes to make solar even more sustainable.
In thin-film technology, glass also serves as the substrate upon which the photovoltaic material and other chemicals (such as TCO) are deposited. Glass is also the basis for mirrors used to concentrate sunlight, although new technologies avoiding glass are emerging. Most commercial glasses are oxide glasses with similar chemical composition.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
