What to do if the glass of the solar panel is broken

2022-04-14

Solar panels use EVA to bond glass and batteries, the glass is tempered glass, and the impact function needs to reach the national standard before it can be used. In the process of use, it may be broken due to external force. Let me share with you what to do if the glass of the solar panel is broken?
1. The impact of broken glass of solar panels
The broken glass of the solar panel will have a certain impact on the use. The key is to see if the battery below is broken. If the battery is also cracked, it needs to be replaced. Tempered glass has a maintenance effect on the battery below. If it is broken, it will lead to a decrease in light transmittance and a lack of output power. After a long time, the battery will be oxidized, and the subsequent efficiency drop will fluctuate greatly.

2. Replacement of solar panel glass
The glass on the solar panel is a low-iron tempered glass, also known as white glass. The common thickness is about 3.2 mm, and the light transmittance is more than 90% in the wavelength range (320-1100NM) of the solar cell spectral response. 1200NM infrared light has higher reflectivity. The solar panel glass has the advantages of being resistant to ultraviolet radiation and ensuring that the light transmittance does not decrease.
The tempering function of solar panel glass needs to conform to the national standard GB9963-88, and the impact resistance of the packaged components can reach the functional indicators specified in the environmental test method of the above-ground silicon solar cell in the national standard GB9535-88 before it can be put into use.
Since the solar cell module is laminated by 5 layers, the surface glass and the original sheet of the module are glued together by EVA. EVA is a hot-melt adhesive with a thickness between 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm. The surface is flat and the thickness Homogeneous, with cross-linking agent inside. At room temperature, EVA is non-sticky and has anti-stickiness. After a certain amount of heat and pressure, it will be melt-bonded and cross-linked and solidified, and it will become completely transparent.
The cured EVA can withstand atmospheric changes and has elasticity. It "covers" the cells, encapsulates them, and connects with the upper maintenance material glass and the lower maintenance material backplane (TPT, BBF, etc.), using a vacuum layer. pressure skills into one. On the other hand, it can improve the light transmittance of the glass after bonding with the glass, which has the effect of antireflection, and has a gain effect on the output of the solar panel. The original solar panels are very thin, so it is easy to break the fragile cells if you just take out the glass.
The above is the answer about what to do if the glass of the solar panel is broken. Due to the high difficulty of replacing the broken glass, if the operation is not in place, it will affect the normal use of the solar panel below, causing problems such as cracks and scratches. It is recommended that you find a professional manufacturer Repair or replace.
