    FAQs about Monocrystalline silicon double-sided double-glass photovoltaic modules

    Are double-glass PV modules durable?

    Double-glass PV modules are emerging as a technology which can deliver excellent performance and excellent durability at a competitive cost. In this paper a glass–glass module technology that uses liquid silicone encapsulation is described. The combination of the glass–glass structure and silicone is shown to lead to exceptional durability.

    What is a double glass c-Si PV module?

    Recently several double-glass (also called glass–glass or dual-glass modules) c-Si PV modules have been launched on the market, many of them by major PV manufacturers. These modules use a sheet of tempered glass at the rear of the module instead of the conventional polymer-based backsheet. There are several reasons why this structure is appealing.

    Are early PV modules encapsulated with silicone?

    Photovoltaics International Early PV modules were often encapsulated with silicone, and have demonstrated outstanding stability in the field, with degradation rates over 20 to 30 years that are much lower than the typical degradation rates for EVA-encapsulated modules [3–5].

    What encapsulant materials can be used for PV modules?

    Various encapsulant materials can be considered. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) has been used for a long time for glass–glass PV modules, particularly for thin-film modules.

    What is glass–glass module technology?

    In this paper a glass–glass module technology that uses liquid silicone encapsulation is described. The combination of the glass–glass structure and silicone is shown to lead to exceptional durability. The concept enables safe module operation at a system voltage of 1,500V, as well as innovative, low-cost module mounting through pad bonding.

    What is pv-6212 polydimethylsiloxane?

    PV-6212 is a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), consisting of molecules with a 'Si-O-Si-O...' backbone and two CH3 groups on each Si atom (see Fig. 4), that uses an addition curing system; as a result, there is no by-product of the cross-linking reaction. PV-6212 is provided in two parts which need to be mixed just before application.
