Double-glass solar modules in Hamburg Germany

What are double glass solar panels?

Double glass solar panels replace traditional polymer backsheets with a glass layer on the back of the module. This design encapsulates the solar cells between two sheets of glass, providing unique advantages. While this technology can be used with both p-type and n-type cells, the latter tend to offer superior lifespan and performance.

What is the difference between glass and plastic solar modules?

Glass/Glass modules withstand air and moisture and offer best cell protection, while plastic backsheets of glass/foil modules become porous. The Glass/Glass composite protects solar cells against micro cracks and thus ensures long-term operating life of 40 years and more.

Are double glass solar panels bifacial?

Both glass-glass and glass backsheet solar panels can utilize bifacial technology, collecting energy from the backside. This can be advantageous in solar parks. Also, terrace or carport roofs, exposed to the low-lying sun could benefit from bifacial panels. In these cases, however, double glass solar panels excel, due to safety and design reasons.
