What is the potential of photovoltaic energy in Slovenia?

Slovenia offers great potential for exploiting photovoltaic energy due to evenly spread solar irradiation. The first photovoltaic power plant in Slovenia was set up in 2001. At the end of 2017, 4,231 photovoltaic power plants had been installed in Slovenia with a total power of 267 MW.

What is a dual glass solar panel?

In contrast, dual-glass solar panels replace the backsheet with a second layer of tempered glass on the rear side of the module. The combined strength of using two sheets of glass makes the solar panel less prone to becoming deformed or for microcracks to form in the cells.

Why do solar panels have two sheets of glass?

The combined strength of using two sheets of glass makes the solar panel less prone to becoming deformed or for microcracks to form in the cells. Installing dual-glass panels on a reflective surface, like a white rooftop, can increase solar energy production.

Do dual-glass panels work for solar cell protection?

One of the reasons that dual-glass panels work well for solar cell protection is the degree of abrasion resistance. That makes dual-glass roof installations ideal for places that experience a lot of windy weather and other environmental impact.

Are dual-glass panels better than traditional panels?

While traditional panels have proven efficient and resilient in many places, they are more prone to stress from wind, snow, and other elements. Dual-glass modules have glass sheets on the front and back. Both sheets are of the same thickness. There’s also a neutral layer in the middle that doesn’t face any compressive stress.

Do dual glass panels produce more energy?

Dual glass panels can produce more electricity for an extended period of time. Three major factors contribute to this higher lifetime total energy yield. First is the total life expectancy of the product. Since the panels last longer, they produce more energy over their lifetime.
