FAQs about Solar glass sampling standards
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.
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.
Why do we need a consensus standard for solar measurement?
Development of best practices and consensus standards in solar measurement enables the industry to develop common protocols for solar project development and operations. This reduces barriers to financing and reduces warranty costs.
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.
