Materials Enhancing Durability of Bifacial Solar Panels:
- Double-Glass Configuration: Bifacial solar panels often feature a glass-glass design instead of the traditional glass-backsheet construction. This double-glass structure enhances durability by providing better protection against environmental stressors like wind, hail, and snow.
- Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline Silicon: These materials are commonly used for the photovoltaic cells in bifacial panels. While not directly impacting durability, their quality contributes to overall panel performance.
- Tempered Glass: The front layer of bifacial panels typically uses tempered glass, which acts as a shield against harsh weather conditions such as hail and wind-blown debris.
- Robust Frames: Aluminum frames are often used to give bifacial panels their strength and structure. These frames protect against physical stress and ensure stability in high winds and heavy snow.
- Transparent Backsheets: Although not a direct contributor to durability, transparent backsheets allow for optimal bifacial performance by enabling light to pass through both sides of the panel.
These materials collectively enhance the robustness and lifespan of bifacial solar panels.
