6 FAQs about [Comparison of residual stress in photovoltaic glass panels]

Does residual stress affect bending strength of glass panels?

At a glass factory strength assessment of glass panels of different thermal treatment was carried out using both residual stress measurement with SCALP and the traditional four-point bending tests. Linear correlation between the residual surface stress and the bending strength was observed.

Can a fragmentation test determine the strength of glass panels?

The results of the fragmentation test were extremely scattered and had almost no correlation with the values of the residual stress. It is concluded that sufficiently reliable assessment of the strength of glass panels is obtained by measuring the residual stress at the surface.

How to determine the strength of glass panels?

It is concluded that sufficiently reliable assessment of the strength of glass panels is obtained by measuring the residual stress at the surface. Key words: glass, residual stress, photoelastic measurements, quality control. 1. INTRODUCTION

Does aspect ratio affect tensile stress in PV cells?

Although there is a small correlation of increasing tensile stress within the PV cell as the aspect ratio (width/height) increases, when factoring the total cross-sectional area the correlation becomes more pronounced [100, 128, 129].

Is residual stress measurement a non-destructive method?

Together with the long-time experience of surface stress measurement with GASP these results lead to the proposal to accept residual stress measurement in glass panels as the basic non-destructive method for the assessment of their strength. Fig. 1.

Do low stress encapsulants affect stress and fracture of thin silicon solar cells?

Low stress encapsulants? Influence of encapsulation materials on stress and fracture of thin silicon solar cells as revealed by synchrotron X-ray submicron diffraction 36th Eur. Photovolt.
