6 FAQs about [European photovoltaic glass panels]

How can glass for Europe help re-build a European solar industry?

Glass for Europe represents almost 90% of flat glass production in the EU and its members can play a key role in re-building a European solar industry in the EU. The main goal of the European Solar PV Industry Alliance is to mobilise finance for European solar PV projects to increase the manufacturing capacity.

Can a photovoltaic system be installed in a European location?

"If I want to install a photovoltaic system in a European location with average irradiation values, I have a great influence on its climate friendliness with the choice of my PV modules," explains Dr. Holger Neuhaus, Head of Department for Module Technology at Fraunhofer ISE.

Are glass-glass solar modules better than glass-film solar panels?

In addition, glass-glass solar modules have a longer service life and less degradation than their glass-film counterparts, which also has a positive effect on the CO2 footprint. As to the kWh generated, the frameless glass-glass module causes 22 to 27 percent fewer CO2 emissions than the glass-backsheet module, the researchers explained

Do glass-glass solar panels reduce emissions?

In the process, they also found that glass-glass modules enable an additional emissions reduction ranging between 7.5 to 12.5 percent compared to PV modules with backsheet films, regardless of their production location.

Are glass-glass PV modules a good choice?

Glass-glass PV modules (b) do not require an aluminum frame and therefore have a lower carbon footprint than PV modules with backsheet (a). Although photovoltaic modules convert sunlight into electricity without producing emissions, PV-generated solar energy does produce CO2 emissions during production, transport and at the end of module life.

Are SoliTek glass solar panels green?

SoliTek glass solar panels obtained the Cradle to Cradle GOLD certificate in 2023, confirming their status as the "greenest in the world." SoliTek is an expert in Building integrated solar (PV) solutions (BIPV). We have solar modules ready for integration into the roof, balcony, façade.
