4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Double-glass and bifacial modules - RRR Renewable Projects (SA)”
Are double glass modules bifacial?
Dual-sided energy Capture: Many double glass modules are bifacial, allowing them to harness sunlight from both sides. This can lead to energy gains of up to 25%, especially when installed over reflective surfaces.
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 are glass-glass bifacial modules becoming more popular?
Due to their better reliability, glass-glass bifacial configurations have a larger portion of the worldwide bifacial module market share. Glass shortages, weight concerns for larger format modules, and decreasing prices for transparent backsheets have caused some manufacturers to switch to a glass-transparent backsheet structure.
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.
