Photovoltaic (PV) glass is a glass that utilizes solar cells to convert solar energy into electricity. It is installed within roofs or facade areas of buildings to produce power for an entire building. In these glasses, solar cells are fixed between two glass panes, which have special filling of resin.
The main difference between photovoltaic glass technologies and traditional solar photovoltaics (PV) is that the newer panels are built into the structure rather than being added on top, which provides an incentive for users concerned about balancing aesthetics and functionality.
The encapsulated glass used in solar photovoltaic modules (or custom solar panels), the current mainstream products are low-iron tempered embossed glass, the solar cell module has high requirements for the transmittance of tempered glass, which must be greater than 91.6%, and has a higher reflection for infrared light greater than 1200 nm. rate.
With global attention on environmental protection and energy efficiency steadily rising, the demand for solar photovoltaic glass in both commercial and residential construction sectors has significantly increased. The desire to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint has driven the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic glass.
The classification of photovoltaic glass mainly includes ultra white photovoltaic embossed glass, ultra white processed Float glass, TCO glass and backplane glass. The main characteristics are analyzed as follows: (1) Ultra White Photovoltaic Embossed Glass
At present, the mainstream product in the market is 3.2mm ultra white photovoltaic glass, with solar cell spectral wavelengths ranging from 320 to 1100 nanometers, and solar transmittance reaching up to 91% to 92%. Can be used as a packaging board for crystalline silicon solar modules.
