Technical FAQs 4

Why is glass breakage a problem in solar power plants?

Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs which lead to glass breakage. Glass breakage is a growing concern for the solar power plant operators.

Are solar modules Breaking Glass?

The pv magazine editorial team includes specialists in equipment supply, manufacturing, policy, markets, balance of systems, and EPC. Solar modules are getting bigger, thinner, and more powerful. But from Texas to Thailand, the same problem is appearing: broken glass.

Are glass-glass PV modules a problem?

Unfortunately, glass-glass PV modules are, similar to regular PV modules, subject to early life failures. A failure of growing concern are defects in the glass layer (s) of PV modules. The scale of decommissioned PV modules with glass defects will increase with the development of solar PV energy [ 7 ].

How common is glass breakage in PV modules?

A customer complaints research, on PV modules after two years of operation, observed glass breakage for 10% of the failure cases [ 28 ]. Another study on PV failures observed an even higher failure-share for glass breakage.
