Glass-glass PV modules (b) do not require an aluminum frame and therefore have a lower carbon footprint than PV modules with backsheet (a). Although photovoltaic modules convert sunlight into electricity without producing emissions, PV-generated solar energy does produce CO2 emissions during production, transport and at the end of module life.
Consequently, we successfully fabricated lightweight PV modules with a shingled design, achieving a conversion power of 205.80 W in an area of 1.034 m 2, facilitating the integration of more solar cells in a limited space. Additionally, standard reliability tests were performed on a PV module weighing only 6.2 kg/m 2. 1. Introduction
Research actively pursues lightweight PV modules, replacing front glass with polymer films as a suitable design solution. Lightweight PV modules with front-film structures require additional structures to compensate for their inadequate mechanical rigidity.
The shingled-design lightweight PV modules had an area of 1.034 m 2, with only a weight of 6.2 kg/m 2. Standard reliability was assessed through DH1000, TC200, PID, and ML2400 tests. The expanding scale of the photovoltaic (PV) market has intensified the focus on PV module designs for diverse applications.
"If I want to install a photovoltaic system in a European location with average irradiation values, I have a great influence on its climate friendliness with the choice of my PV modules," explains Dr. Holger Neuhaus, Head of Department for Module Technology at Fraunhofer ISE.
For the fabrication of a lightweight PV module, we laminated a front sheet/EVA/solar cell array/EVA/FRP/EVA/Al honeycomb core/EVA/FRP structures using a simple one-step lamination process with lamination system (BSL2222OC, Boostsolar) at 140 °C for 660 s.
