Are all double-glass modules monocrystalline

What is a double glass solar module?

In the ever-evolving world of photovoltaic technology, double glass solar modules are emerging as a game-changer. By encapsulating solar cells between two layers of glass, these modules offer unparalleled durability and efficiency. But what exactly sets them apart? What are double glass solar modules?

Are double-glass solar modules reactive or non-reactive?

Furthermore, comparing to plastic backsheets (the back material of single-glass solar module) which are reactive, glass is non-reactive. This means that the whole structure of Raytech double-glass solar modules (two layers of glass and one layer of solar cells in the middle) are highly resistant to chemical reactions such as corrosion as a whole.

What is a double glass module?

In contrast, double glass modules replace the polymer layer with another glass sheet, creating a robust sandwich structure. At IBC SOLAR, we use 2,0 mm x 2,0 mm glass layers, whereas some other market offerings use thinner 1,6 mm x 1,6 mm layers. This ensures greater durability and longevity.

Are double glass modules bifacial?

Dual-sided energy Capture: Many double glass modules are bifacial, allowing them to harness sunlight from both sides. This can lead to energy gains of up to 25%, especially when installed over reflective surfaces.
