Description

Crystalline Silicon glass offers a greater power installed per SqFt compared to amorphous Silicon glass. This means that under direct sunlight, crystalline Silicon generates twice+ more power than amorphous Silicon.

Accordingly, this PV Glass technology is ideal for those projects that seek maximum energy generation, and are well oriented towards the Sun.

Crystalline Silicon technology is popularly used on canopy and skylight applications, spandrel glass, solid walls, and guardrails.

This PV glass shows the same mechanical properties as a conventional, architectural glass used in construction. However, in addition, it also generates free and clean energy thanks to the sun (active properties).

 

ADVANTAGES OF CRYSTALLINE SILICON PV GLASS

 Crystalline Silicon glass can be easily customized, especially in terms of shape, since trapezoids can easily be fabricated using this technology.

Greater nominal power capacity per SqFt (Wp/SqFt).

By using crystalline Silicon glass, It takes less area for an installation to reach a certain kWp (size), compared to amorphous Silicon glass.

Crystalline Silicon glass’ efficiency can go up to 16%.
