Solar glass is prominently utilized across various types of solar panels, including monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film technologies. Its ability to transmit sunlight efficiently while protecting photovoltaic cells is a pivotal aspect of solar energy systems.
Photovoltaic glass is a special type of glass that utilizes solar radiation to generate electricity by laminating into solar cells, and has relevant current extraction devices and cables. The glass used in photovoltaic power generation is not ordinary glass, but TCO conductive glass.
Photovoltaic glass operates on the same basic principle as any solar system: it converts sunlight into electricity. It uses solar cells made of materials such as amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, or advanced thin-film technologies. These cells are encapsulated between layers of glass, making the product durable, safe, and functional.
It is composed of low iron glass, solar cells, film, back glass, and special metal wires. The solar cells are sealed between a low iron glass and a back glass through film, making it the most innovative high-tech glass product for construction. Using low iron glass to cover solar cells can ensure high solar transmittance.
