Technical FAQs 4

Can tempered glass be used in solar modules?

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.

Why should you choose glass in a PV module?

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.

Can solar panels withstand hurricanes?

Modern solar panels are durable and designed to handle extreme weather, including strong winds and hurricanes. They undergo rigorous testing under standards like IEC 61215, which evaluates their ability to withstand high wind pressures. Panels that meet these standards are built to endure severe storms without damage.

Do PV modules have tempered glass?

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.
