Do you know the characteristics of photovoltaic tempered glass?

Aug 04, 2025

Photovoltaic tempered glass is a key encapsulation material for solar photovoltaic modules, mainly used to protect solar cells from external environmental influences (such as wind, sand, rain, snow, hail, etc.), while ensuring high light transmittance to enhance power generation efficiency. It is a special type of glass with high strength and high light transmittance that has undergone physical or chemical tempering treatment.

A. High mechanical strength
a.It has strong impact resistance and can withstand the impact of hail (with a diameter of 25mm and a speed of 23m/s).
b. It has excellent wind pressure resistance and is suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

B. High light transmittance
a.The light transmittance of ordinary photovoltaic glass is ≥91.5% (with a thickness of 3.2mm).
b. Some high-end products adopt anti-reflective coating (AR coating), which can increase the light transmittance to 93%-94%, thereby enhancing the power generation efficiency.

C. Strong weather resistance
a. It can withstand high temperatures (-40℃ to +85℃, stable for a long time) and adapt to various climatic conditions.
b. Resistant to ultraviolet (UV) aging, it is not prone to yellowing or becoming brittle after long-term use.

D. Safety performance
a. Tempering treatment makes it break into fine particles, reducing safety hazards.
b. Some double-glass components use semi-tempered glass to reduce the risk of self-explosion.
