There has been a noteable shift from the initial single-facial single-glass modules to bifacial double-glass modules. Double-glass modules, with their performance in the face of salt mist, high temperatures and high humidity, have won the market's favour. However, this trend is not without its risks.
Our dual glass modules use the same internal circuit connection as a traditional glass-backsheet module but feature heat-strengthened glass on both sides. We produce the back glass with a unique drilling technique that ensures the reliability of both the junction box installation and the module.
Due to their better reliability, glass-glass bifacial configurations have a larger portion of the worldwide bifacial module market share. Glass shortages, weight concerns for larger format modules, and decreasing prices for transparent backsheets have caused some manufacturers to switch to a glass-transparent backsheet structure.
As a result, most glass-glass modules come with frames in place. Compared with standard glass backsheet technology, framed modules with two layers of glass are heavier. Therefore, transparent backsheets are a solution for a lighter bifacial module. A more lightweight module means less cost on transportation, labor, and trackers whenever applicable.
