What type of glass does a solar panel use?

Different solar panels have different glass widths depending on their goals. A thin-film solar panel is the cheapest type of solar panel on the market so it uses a relatively thin layer of standard glass. Crystalline solar panels commonly use 4 mm glass, making them more durable and stable. But what exactly does this layer of glass do?

Who can benefit from Integrated Photovoltaic Glass Solutions?

World-leading companies such as Apple, Novartis, Samsung, and Coca-Cola along with other international institutions such as the Government of Canada, the Helsen Bergen Hospital, or the National Petroleum Technology Center in Saudi Arabia, already benefit from our integrated photovoltaic glass solutions.

Can solar panels be coated with a polymer back sheet?

Coating the glass with a polymer back sheet won’t be as effective and will expose the solar cells to environmental moisture. Glass is much stronger than you might think. Unless heavy amounts of stress are being applied to the glass, causing a shock, the glass will need much more than a falling branch to break it.

Can Photovoltaic Glass panes replace conventional glass?

Thus the photovoltaic glass glass panes could be installed replacing conventional glass on building facades, curtain walls, atriums, canopies and terrace floors, among other architectural applications.
