Differences between bifacial modules and double-glass modules

Do bifacial modules come with frames?

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.

Are all double glass panels bifacial?

All bifacial panels are double glass, but not all double glass panels are bifacial. I think the term bifacial sounds a little strange, but if they had called them Janus panels very few people would get the joke and if they called them two-faced panels they would carry a bad connotation.

What is a dual glass module?

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.

What is the difference between bifacial TB and DG?

odule module size size2、Mechanical propertiesThe front side glass of bifacial TB is 3.2mm tempered glass, whereas 1 front side glass of bifacial DG is 2.0mm heat strengthened glass. Owing that tempered glass has higher impact strength, bifacial TB has lower risk if used in reg on with hail weather. B

What is bifacial glass technology?

Bifacial glass technology is the preferred material among manufacturers for the rear side cover of the modules. Some key advantages of the glass-glass structure are: Glass-glass modules can also be frameless, which helps eliminate the cost of an extruded aluminum frame. However, glass-glass models with frames have a lower risk of breakage.

Why do bifacial solar panels have different glass types?

Because bifacial solar panels harness energy from both sides they require unique glass types for each side. The front glass is typically thicker, designed for durability and UV resistance while the rear glass is generally thinner. That’s because it is tailored for optimal light transmittance to capture refracted sunlight efficiently.
