Glass used in photovoltaic modules serves several important functions:It acts as a protective layer against environmental elements1.Common types of glass include ultra-thin glass, surface-coated glass, and low-iron glass, which enhance light transmission2.In thin-film solar panels, standard glass is often used as a substrate, while crystalline silicon solar panels typically use 3.2mm thick solar glass3.The encapsulated glass in solar modules is usually low-iron tempered glass, which must have a transmittance greater than 91.6%4.These properties ensure the efficiency and durability of photovoltaic modules in harnessing solar energy.
