6 FAQs about [The glass of photovoltaic modules turns black]
Are glass-glass PV modules a problem?
Unfortunately, glass-glass PV modules are, similar to regular PV modules, subject to early life failures. A failure of growing concern are defects in the glass layer (s) of PV modules. The scale of decommissioned PV modules with glass defects will increase with the development of solar PV energy [ 7 ].
How common is glass breakage in PV modules?
A customer complaints research, on PV modules after two years of operation, observed glass breakage for 10% of the failure cases [ 28 ]. Another study on PV failures observed an even higher failure-share for glass breakage.
What are the characteristics of PV modules?
The PV modules have three distinctive characteristics: double glass for light passage, bifacial PV cells and extra thin glass (1.6 mm per layer). The PV installation entails 4236 PV modules in strings of 24 PV modules [ 44 ]. The usage of extra-thin glass enhanced the occurrence of glass (edge) breakage.
How do glass defects affect a PV system?
Glass defects impact the economic performance of a PV system in multiple ways. The most obvious effect is the potential (in)direct performance loss of PV modules, which results in reduced economic revenues. Secondly, PV modules that suffer from glass defects may no longer meet safety requirements, therefore these modules are replaced.
What causes a photovoltaic module to break?
In addition to glass breakage in the photovoltaic module, a long and cold winter often leads to bent or frozen module frames. However, the most common cause for a photovoltaic repair is lightning and overvoltage. A PV module can be broken by direct or indirect impacts in the vicinity of a photovoltaic system.
How thick is a glass-glass PV module?
2.2. Glass characteristics Glass-glass PV modules generally use 2–3 mm thick glass layers, since thicker glass layers negatively impact the module's weight and costs, while trends are to reduce glass thickness to below 2 mm [ 10 ].
