Solar panel glass screening

Why do solar panels need to be inspected?

Especially critical are those defects that occur at the edges of the glass sheets – an area usually not covered by standard vision systems. Micro-cracks and chips of the solar glass panels are a major cause of glass breakage and their detection is important for assuring highest quality standards.

What is a solar panel screen?

The result is a dual-purpose product often dubbed a “solar panel screen.” It reduces your cooling load and produces renewable power at the same time. This approach makes use of otherwise underutilized window surface area for energy production, complementing rooftop solar panels or even replacing them in certain applications.

Why should you use solarinspect?

Furthermore, SolarInspect can detect glass defects at the edges of the substrate, which helps to avoid unexpected glass breakage in subsequent production and in the final product. In the production of crystalline solar modules pat-terned glass substrates are used in lieu of bare glass. Patterned glass increases the amount of incoming sunlight.

Why is patterned glass used in crystalline solar modules?

In the production of crystalline solar modules pat-terned glass substrates are used in lieu of bare glass. Patterned glass increases the amount of incoming sunlight. Common optical inspection systems for quality assurance and process control are mostly designed for unstructured glass.
