The advantages of glass glass solar panels with TOPCon cell technology

With the evolution of solar energy as a dominant power source, industry leaders and experts are beginning to explore solutions beyond traditional solar panels. The technology of glass glass solar panels for rooftop installations can help users recoup their investment more quickly than ever before.

What are Glass Glass Solar Modules?

Tempered glass effectively protects solar cells from environmental factors such as wind, snow, dust, and moisture. The construction of traditional solar modules includes a glass layer at the front and a sheet at the back.

The back sheet provides additional insulation against the environment. However, the materials of this sheet must withstand weather conditions, offer superior adhesion, and have sufficient mechanical resistance to last for years. If the sheet degrades prematurely, it could result in additional maintenance and replacement costs.

In contrast, glass glass solar panels replace the back sheet with a second layer of tempered glass at the back of the module. The combined strength of using two glass sheets makes the solar panel less likely to deform or develop micro-cracks in the cells. Installing glass glass panels on a reflective surface, such as a white roof, can increase solar energy production. This is because glass glass solar modules use bifacial cells, generating energy from both sides of the panel instead of just one.

Advantages of Glass Glass PV Modules for Roofs

Glass glass structure has already become the standard for solar panels used in large-scale solar plants. It has proven to offer the reliability and long-term performance sought by industry professionals. Some past hesitations in using glass glass technology for roofs were related to concerns about weight and handling.

I'M Solar's manufacturing plant has overcome this limitation by using ultra-thin glass plates previously unavailable in the market. This makes them the ideal option for installing solar panels on roofs. Thanks to I'M Solar, it is now possible to find industrial-grade glass glass solar panels that do not significantly add to the roof's load. Let's explore other advantages of converting to I'M Solar's glass glass solar panels for rooftop use.

1. Increased Robustness and Reliability

Glass glass panels work well for protecting solar cells due to their resistance to abrasion. This makes them ideal for rooftop installations exposed to windy weather and other environmental impacts. Additionally, glass glass panels prevent sand from penetrating internal components and causing costly damage.

While traditional panels have proven effective in many locations, they are more prone to wind, snow, and other stress factors. Glass glass modules have glass sheets at the front and back of the same thickness, with a neutral layer in the middle that undergoes no compressive stress. This allows glass glass solar panels to offer better mechanical protection, thus extending their lifespan.

2. Extended Power Output

Glass glass panels can produce more electricity over an extended period. Three major factors contribute to this higher energy output. Firstly, the total product lifespan is longer, resulting in more energy production over time. Secondly, the annual product degradation is lower, allowing optimal function for a longer period. Thirdly, the panels can be bifacial, collecting solar energy from both sides, leading to overall increased energy production.

3. Enhanced Resistance

There is a reason many products use glass to preserve materials. For example, wine lasts for hundreds of years. While glass glass panels may not have proven to reach this level of durability, it is possible to achieve up to 50 years of use. This is due to the glass glass construction of I'M Solar modules, making them more resistant to all types of chemicals such as acids or alkalis. In contrast, modules with a back sheet may be more susceptible to degradation when exposed to these chemical elements.

4. Higher Fire Classification

I'M Solar's glass glass solar panels benefit from a higher fire classification compared to modules with a back sheet. This makes them suitable for roofing construction in residential homes, chemical factories, and other structures requiring additional protection against fire hazards.

5. Longest Warranty: 30 Years

As seen above, glass glass modules are extremely resilient, reliable, and produce high energy output throughout their lifespan due to lower degradation. For all these reasons, I'M Solar has complete confidence in the long-term performance and reliability of this technology. This is reflected in the extended 30-year power warranty that I'M Solar provides for all its solar panels, offering peace of mind to installers and customers.

A More Efficient TOPCon Cell Technology

The TOPCon technology allows cells to generate up to 3.5% more energy over 30 years than standard cells. These more efficient cells, with improved degradation profiles, better thermal behavior, enhanced bifacial performance, and improved performance in low irradiance conditions, contribute to higher energy production.

Moreover, the initial degradation (first year) of these cells is 50% lower. The annual degradation rate is also 11% lower. Modules equipped with these new generation cells are more reliable and capable of generating higher energy yield throughout their lifespan, thereby reducing your electricity bills.

In conclusion, the emergence of glass glass solar panels and TOPCon cell technology represents a significant advancement in solar energy, offering considerable benefits for solar installations. These innovative technologies provide an effective solution to the environmental challenges faced by traditional solar panels.
