Ireland bifacial double glass translucent modules

Why are glass-glass bifacial modules becoming more popular?

Due to their better reliability, glass-glass bifacial configurations have a larger portion of the worldwide bifacial module market share. Glass shortages, weight concerns for larger format modules, and decreasing prices for transparent backsheets have caused some manufacturers to switch to a glass-transparent backsheet structure.

What is bifacial glass technology?

Bifacial glass technology is the preferred material among manufacturers for the rear side cover of the modules. Some key advantages of the glass-glass structure are: Glass-glass modules can also be frameless, which helps eliminate the cost of an extruded aluminum frame. However, glass-glass models with frames have a lower risk of breakage.

Do bifacial modules come with frames?

As a result, most glass-glass modules come with frames in place. Compared with standard glass backsheet technology, framed modules with two layers of glass are heavier. Therefore, transparent backsheets are a solution for a lighter bifacial module. A more lightweight module means less cost on transportation, labor, and trackers whenever applicable.

Does Trina Solar have a dual glass bifacial module?

However, Trina Solar has made such a breakthrough by abandoning the backsheet and developing the brand-new dual glass module. Trina Solar Vertex TSM-DEG21C.20 (670 W) framed dual-glass bifacial module

Why do bifacial modules need transparent backsheets?

Therefore, transparent backsheets are a solution for a lighter bifacial module. A more lightweight module means less cost on transportation, labor, and trackers whenever applicable. Due to their better reliability, glass-glass bifacial configurations have a larger portion of the worldwide bifacial module market share.

What is a dual glass module?

Our dual glass modules use the same internal circuit connection as a traditional glass-backsheet module but feature heat-strengthened glass on both sides. We produce the back glass with a unique drilling technique that ensures the reliability of both the junction box installation and the module.
