4 FAQs about Solar fabric glass quality standards

How can solarinspect ensure the quality of the finished modules?

To ensure the quality of the finished modules, the control of the dimensions and shape (rectangular-ity) of the glass substrates is essential. SolarInspect provides this capability parallel to the glass defect detection.

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.

What is a solar glass substrate?

Manufacturers of crystalline silicon solar modules apply glass substrates on the front side of the solar modules. This front glass will either be a patterned glass or a glass with anti-reflective coating (AR). As in all other glass manufacturing processes, solar glass substrates are subject to defects during produc-tion.

Does solarinspect detect glass defects?

SolarInspect provides this capability parallel to the glass defect detection. 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.
