Solar glass must be able to withstand varied environmental stresses, which involve exposure to heat, UV radiation, and moisture.
The thermomechanical stress developed through interconnection, lamination and initial thermal cycling of multi-busbar (MBB) interconnected glass-glass solar modules was
By comparing this stress with the allowable stress and the corresponding failure probability, the likelihood of glass fracture under specific loading conditions was estimated.
We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom
