The glass type that can be used for this technology is a low iron float glass such as Pilkington Optiwhite™.
Crystalline silicon photovoltaics is the most widely used photovoltaic technology. Crystalline silicon photovoltaics are modules built using crystalline silicon solar cells (c-Si). These have high efficiency, making crystalline silicon photovoltaics an interesting technology where space is at a premium.
Crystalline silicon PV glass is a material suitable for building purposes, with mechanical properties similar to conventional architectural glass used in construction for architectural purposes.
With global attention on environmental protection and energy efficiency steadily rising, the demand for solar photovoltaic glass in both commercial and residential construction sectors has significantly increased. The desire to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint has driven the widespread adoption of solar photovoltaic glass.
Glass provides mechanical, chemical, and UV protection to solar panels, enabling these devices to withstand weathering for decades. The increasing demand for solar electricity and the need to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions demands new materials and processes to make solar even more sustainable.
