Efficiency of double-glass photovoltaic modules

The double glass panel without a rear protective layer effectively dissipates heat, and it loses around 30% less efficiency over time than conventional panels. As they produce 25% more energy, Double-Glass modules often have a 30-year guarantee including the panels themselves. 3. Here, bifacial gain is defined as (1) Bifacial Gain = (Y Bi-Y Mono) / Y Mono, where Y Bi and Y Mono are the electricity yields in kWh for bifacial and monofacial solar modules, respectively. Moreover, the glass-to-glass structure of bifacial modules improves the long-term durability compared to the traditional glass-to-backsheet monofacial modules.
