Technical FAQs 4

How common are glass defects in solar panels?

The relative amount of glass defects ranges from several percent up to one of the most prominent failures of registered PV failures. A customer complaints research, on PV modules after two years of operation, observed glass breakage for 10% of the failure cases [ 28 ].

How do glass defects affect a PV system?

Glass defects impact the economic performance of a PV system in multiple ways. The most obvious effect is the potential (in)direct performance loss of PV modules, which results in reduced economic revenues. Secondly, PV modules that suffer from glass defects may no longer meet safety requirements, therefore these modules are replaced.

What causes a glass layer to break?

Glass layers break when impacted by stress larger than the inherent glass strength [ 12 ]. For PV modules with frames, most glass breakage is caused by direct impact on the glass surface. However, frameless PV modules are sensitive to stress and impact on the glass edge, leading to edge breakage [ 12, 32 ].

Does weathering damage glass PV modules?

In glass-glass PV modules the interlayer is often Polyolefin Elastomer (POE) encapsulant. Subsequent weathering of the encapsulant, such as the ingress of moisture, may decrease the strength of defected glass PV modules. This will reduce the lifetime of the module and cause corrosion of internal components [ 20 ].
