Double the strengths, double the benefits
In contrast, double glass modules replace the polymer layer with another glass sheet, creating a robust sandwich structure. At IBC SOLAR, we use 2,0 mm x 2,0 mm glass layers,

Dual-glass type modules (also called double glass or glass-glass) are made up of two glass surfaces, on the front and on the rear with a thickness of 2.0 mm each.

Double glass panels use two thinner glass layers. Each layer is about 2.0 to 2.5 mm thick. This keeps the panels from getting too heavy. But it can make them less strong against impacts.

The average photovoltaic panel contains 3-4 millimeters of tempered glass – about the thickness of two stacked credit cards. But why does this matter? Let''s break this down like a sunlight beam hitting a

With double-glass modules, the glass sheets at the front and back have the same thickness, and the neutral layer, which is in the middle, is not under any compressive or tensile stress.

Although there is no standard on glass thickness, in general it is a more complex and expensive process to produce very thin, tempered glass. However, 2.5 mm glass thickness does allow for frameless

They can be heavier if the manufacturer has used thicker glass (e.g. 2mm). Our panels with 1.6mm front and back weigh in at 21kg, which is comparable to single glass. (But thicker glass can be a very
