Introduction to the Production Process and Application of single-sided photovoltaic glass

Aug 18, 2025

Single-sided photovoltaic glass is a key material for photovoltaic modules. It enhances light transmittance and optimizes power generation efficiency through anti-reflection coating technology. With technological advancements, thinning, high light transmittance and functionalization have become the future development directions.

1. Production process
The production process of single-sided photovoltaic glass mainly includes:
A. Edge grinding: Remove burrs from the edges of the glass
B. Cleaning: Ensure the surface is clean
C. Preheating: Enhance the adhesion of the coating
D. Coating: Roller coating or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process
E. Curing: High-temperature sintering enhances the adhesion of the film layer
F. Tempering: Enhance the mechanical strength of glass

2. Application scenarios
A. Single-glass modules: Mainly used for the front panels of traditional crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules.
B. Distributed photovoltaic: Applicable to scenarios such as rooftops and commercial and industrial power stations.
C. High irradiation areas: Excellent high-temperature resistance, suitable for strong light environments.

3. Development Trends
A. Thinning: 2.0mm and thinner glass is gradually becoming popular, reducing the weight of components.
B. Highlight transmittance optimization: Research on double-layer coating and new low refractive index materials (such as MgF₂) is advancing.
C. Functionalized coating: such as self-cleaning, anti-glare, and other additional functions.
