Recent findings from GroundWork® research suggest a direct correlation between larger module sizes and a significant reduction in
These results demonstrate that surface roughness modification through chemical etching is a cost-effective and easily implementable strategy to mitigate soiling on PV surfaces.
Could become economically viable with the growth of the solar industry, enabling reinforcement of ultra-thin glass sheets. Additionally, research is underway to assess the
The team found that the average quality of solar glass appears to be decreasing over time, with modules either barely passing the base static load test or not passing with
We have seen cases of the glass in solar panels (photovoltaic [PV] modules) breaking differently, and more often, than it did 5 years ago. There have been many changes to PV module design
Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs which lead to glass breakage.
Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs which lead to glass breakage.
Solar modules are getting bigger, thinner, and more powerful. But from Texas to Thailand, the same problem is appearing: broken glass. Not from hail or mishandling, but from
