4 FAQs about Internal resistance of double-glass modules

Why are double-glass modules important?

Double-glass modules have increased resistance to cell micro-cracking, potential induced degradation, module warping, degradation from UV rays, and sand abrasion, as well as alkali, acids or salt mist.

What is a double glass module?

The double glass module design offers not only much higher reliability and longer durability but also significant Balance of System cost savings by eliminating the aluminum frame of conventional modules and frame-grounding requirements. The application of double-glass modules covers multiple markets including utility, residential and commercial.

Does a glass–glass PV module have thermo-mechanical performance and resistance?

To further explore the thermo-mechanical performance and resistance of the selected glass–glass PV module, the simultaneous action of gravity load G and a superimposed uniform load q was taken into account in the analysis of results (see also the schematic setup of Figure 3).

Are double-glass modules flammable?

Under exposure of a strong burning fire, double-glass modules present a high degree of resistance to ignition, do not propagate fire to the roof deck or other building material, do not slip from their mounting position, and are not expected to produce any flying burning debris. (Fig. 10, 11)
