How big is the glass of 36 photovoltaic modules

The front glass is the heaviest part of the photovoltaic module and it has the function of protecting and ensuring robustness to the entire photovoltaic module, maintaining a high transparency. The thickness of this layer is usually 3.2mm but it can range from 2mm to 4mm depending on the type of glass chosen.

The encapsulated glass used in solar photovoltaic modules (or custom solar panels), the current mainstream products are low-iron tempered embossed glass, the solar cell module has high requirements for the transmittance of tempered glass, which must be greater than 91.6%, and has a higher reflection for infrared light greater than 1200 nm. rate.

It is the newest addition to the HELIENE product line-up and the smallest solar photovoltaic module produced in our factories. Although it has a smaller footprint, the 36 P is built using the same thickness of glass and aluminum frame extrusion as HELIENE's largest 96-cell products making it the most robust module on the market in this form factor.

The most important determinant is the crystalline silicon technology in photovoltaic modules, followed by the protection of photovoltaic glass in photovoltaic modules. Photovoltaic glass is one of the best materials to protect crystalline silicon and has high self-transmission rate for a long time.

The cells are interconnected with each other by a thin copper tape coated with a tin alloy, called ribbon; The front glass is the heaviest part of the photovoltaic module and it has the function of protecting and ensuring robustness to the entire photovoltaic module, maintaining a high transparency.

If we try to describe in a few words the structure, we could say that a photovoltaic panel is composed by a series of photovoltaic cells protected by a glass on the front and a plastic material on the rear. The whole of it is vacuum encapsulated in a polymer as transparent as possible.
