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?

What is the thickness of a glass module?

The thickness of the front glass generally used for this type of structure is 3.2 mm. Dual-glass type modules (also called double glass or glass-glass) are made up of two glass surfaces, on the front and on the rear with a thickness of 2.0 mm each.

What are glass-glass PV modules?

Glass-glass PV modules, also known as double glass solar panels, are photovoltaic modules encapsulated with tempered glass on both the front and back sides. Compared to traditional glass-backsheet modules, they offer greater durability and environmental resistance.

What is a dual-glass module?

Dual-glass type modules (also called double glass or glass-glass) are made up of two glass surfaces, on the front and on the rear with a thickness of 2.0 mm each. Some manufacturers, in order to reduce the weight of the modules, have opted for a thickness of 1.6 mm. Dualsun has chosen to stay with a thickness of 2.0 mm for reasons explained below.
