Glass fracture in real-world solar installations is not a new phenomenon—and, in and of itself, it is not necessarily cause for undue concern. Unlike a highly ductile material like
At Intersolar 2014, Solarworld let a cyclist jump onto glass-glass modules to demonstrate their resistance to breakage. Electroluminescence images taken afterwards confirmed that the cells
We have seen cases of the glass in solar panels (photovoltaic [PV] modules) breaking differently, and more often, than it did 5 years ago. There have been many changes to PV module design
