Technical FAQs 4

What is Solar Photovoltaic Glass?

This article explores the classification and applications of solar photovoltaic glass. Photovoltaic glass substrates used in solar cells typically include ultra-thin glass, surface-coated glass, and low-iron (extra-clear) glass.

What is glass used for in a photovoltaic system?

In thin-film technology, glass also serves as the substrate upon which the photovoltaic material and other chemicals (such as TCO) are deposited. Glass is also the basis for mirrors used to concentrate sunlight, although new technologies avoiding glass are emerging. Most commercial glasses are oxide glasses with similar chemical composition.

What is a hollow glass microsphere (HGM)/TiO 2 composite hollow sphere?

A hollow glass microsphere (HGM)/TiO 2 composite hollow sphere was successfully prepared via a simple precipitation method. The TiO 2 coating layers grew on the surface of the HGMs that range from 20 to 50 μm in diameter as nanoparticles with the formation of the Si‒O‒Ti bonds.

What type of glass is used to concentrate sunlight?

Glass is also the basis for mirrors used to concentrate sunlight, although new technologies avoiding glass are emerging. Most commercial glasses are oxide glasses with similar chemical composition. The main component is Silicon Oxide, SiO 2, which is found in sandstone.
