Two types of photovoltaic module structures coexist: Glass-polymer film (also called glass-backsheet) type modules. They are made of glass on the front side and polymer film on the rear side.
All DualSun modules meet this standard, including the doubleglass which pass the RG3 level, corresponding to hailstones with a diameter of 30 mm and 75% higher impact energy than the IEC standard. Glass-backsheet modules (with glass thickness 3.2 mm) such as Shingle technology modules even reach the RG4 level.
The single-pane glass used in Case 1 resulted in substantial heat gain within the interior due to inadequate insulation. In contrast, the case featuring STPV glazing demonstrates that the power generation benefits of the photovoltaic system significantly reduce the building's annual net indoor electricity consumption.
For example, for a DualSun module with dimensions 1722 mm x 1134 mm, the weight in glass (2.8 mm) - backsheet configuration is 20.0 kg while it is 25.1 kg for bi-glass (2 x 2.0 mm), which corresponds to a weight increase of 25%.
Mechanical constraints on cells: the fact that the structure of the double glass modules is symmetrical implies that the cells are located on a so-called neutral line, the upper part of the module being in compression during a downward mechanical load and the lower glass surface being in tension.
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.
