The only feasible way for tempered glass to be widely used in solar modules is its application in single-glass modules. The prevailing benchmark for hail resistance, which stipulates that solar modules must be capable of withstanding impacts from hailstones up to 35mm in diameter, may fall short in areas frequently subjected to larger hailstones.
The choice of glass in a PV module has become a key consideration in efforts to improve durability in the face of extreme weather conditions.
Among the current module products on the market, only single-glass modules are equipped with tempered glass. The choice of front and shear materials is critical in determining the module’s ability to withstand hail impacts. Over the past decade, the PV industry has experienced a great revolution.
The tempered glass’s ability to break into small, less harmful pieces makes it a safer option in the event of an impact, whereas heat-strengthened glass, which breaks into larger fragments, poses a higher risk of damage to the module and potential injury during maintenance.
Our solar PV systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
