Bifacial double-glass solar modules have increased power yields by up to 23% compared to monofacial counterparts a study conducted in China by JA Solar and TÜV Rheinland has found.
What is double glass PV module?
Double glass PV module is known as the ultimate solution for the module encapsulation technique. Although double glass modules have many advantages, they are not yet widely used in photovoltaic power plants, for which one important reason is the large power loss due to the transmission of light in the cell gap region.
What is a double glass module?
Double glass module contains two sheets of glass, whereby the back sheet is made of heat strengthened (semi-tempered) glass to substitute the traditional polymer backsheet. With * Corresponding author. Tel.: +86 13776101913; fax: +86 51268961413.
Why is white double glass PV module more powerful than transparent?
Due to the high reflectance of white EVA, the power of white double glass module is higher than that of transparent double glass module by 2-4%. Double glass PV modules is an area of significant investigation by many companies and institutes in recent years, for example Dupont, Trina, Apollon, SERIS, MIT, Meyer Burger and Talesun.
How reliable is Canadian Solar's Dymond double glass module?
Canadian Solar's Dymond double glass module passed 3 times IEC standard test and IEC 61730-2:2016 multiple combination of limit test and obtained VDE report, which fully indicate high lifetime and high reliability of this double glass module. This paper presents a detailed reliability study of Canadian Solar's Dymond double glass module.
The scale of installed capacity gets larger and larger. The power plants have also been built in more diverse environments, such as on fish farms, tidal flats, in deserts, etc. Double-glass module is not subject to potential induced degradation (PID) and boasts excellent durability, low permeability, long life cycle and other superior qualities.
Does double glass module lose power after aging?
The test result (Fig. 4) shows the power loss of double glass module is small after aging, less than 5% and there is no abnormality in appearance and insulation performance. Fig. 4. Power attenuation after dynamic load + shear sequence test.
