Issue 9/2017 - CNBM mass-produces the world's thinnest photovoltaic glass

Recently, CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Co.
, Ltd.
, a subsidiary of China National Building Materials Group, has successfully developed 1.
8mm, 1.
6mm and 1.
5mm ultra-thin series of photovoltaic glass and achieved continuous and stable mass production, of which 1.
5mm is currently the thinnest photovoltaic glass
that can be mass-produced in the world.

This series of ultra-thin photovoltaic glass products has the characteristics of high transparency and ultra-thinness, and its innovation lies in the exclusive process technology such as material square, melting, ultra-thin forming process and operation technology, ultra-thin forming annealing equipment, ultra-thin cutting equipment required for ultra-thin products, which can be semi-tempered, which has the advantages
of saving resources, reducing energy consumption, reducing emissions, increasing light transmittance, improving power generation, reducing transportation costs, and reducing installation costs.

In recent years, major photovoltaic manufacturers have launched double-glass module products with good light transmittance and PID-free characteristics, which have put forward higher requirements
for the thinning development of photovoltaic glass.
At present, mainstream double-glass components mostly use 2.
5 mm and 2 mm glass on the front and back sides, most of which have a 25~30-year power generation guarantee, which is very suitable for combining with agriculture, or with bifacial batteries to create higher power generation efficiency
