Testing glass-glass solar panels
Glass-glass modules outperform standard solar modules in terms of performance and longevity. Find out here what advantages glass-glass modules offer, what tests they must pass and how to recognize quality modules.
Hotspot test
In ze test, we control the effect of shade – for example, autumn leaves on the solar panel – and can thus realistically simulate the temperature behavior.
Mechanical load test
This test shows that Solarwatt’s glass-glass solar panels can withstand extreme loads such as strong wind or snow pressure.
Hail test
In this test, our solar panels are exposed to simulated hail. The hailstones are almost twice the normal size as specified by the IEC standard.
Humidity-heat test
This test shows that Solarwatt’s glass-glass solar panels can withstand extreme loads such as strong wind or snow pressure.
Fracture test
In this video we show an exciting test with a glass-glass solar panel. Our goal is to demonstrate that even if this solar panel were to break, no large pieces of glass would fall down causing injury.
Temperature cycle test
This test is especially important because the solar panel must be able to withstand extreme temperature changes from -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.
Fire resistance test
In this video, we test the resistance of a Solarwatt vision glass-glass solar panel to fire.
