After the appearance of the solar panel that works with humidity, we thought that nothing could surprise us so much. However, the first double-glass solar panel has done it. It offers 500 W of power and almost free electricity. In the constant search for more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions, the use of solar energy has become a priority.
The reason is obvious. It is a clean, renewable source of energy obtained from solar radiation. Unlike fossil fuels, it does not generate greenhouse gas emissions or pollute the environment. It is also an inexhaustible source of energy, since the sun never stops radiating energy.
In fact, opting for the use of solar energy brings important benefits, such as the fact that it means having renewable and sustainable energy. Using it does not deplete natural resources and does not contribute to climate change. By choosing to use solar energy, greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced.
Trina Solar presents the world’s first double-glazed solar panel to the world
Chinese manufacturer Trina Solar has launched its new 505W Vertex S+ module NEG18R.28. This device has been designed for both commercial and industrial rooftops. The inclusion of solar panels on new buildings (commercial and industrial) is becoming increasingly common. This is due to the widespread user’s quest to reduce energy consumption, energy costs and emissions in buildings.
Trina Solar’s NEG18R.28 module meets the energy efficiency needs and brings added value to the customer. It is a lightweight double-glazed model with a size of 1961 mm and 1134 mm and a weight of 23.5 kg. It uses the advanced N-type i-TOPCon technology, with a module power of 505 W+ and an efficiency of 22.7%, and offers a performance guarantee of 30 years.
Being lightweight panels, installation is much easier in hard-to-reach areas compared to other traditional models. The double glass design provides stronger resistance to scratches, cracks and impact, ensuring extreme panel resistance to salt spray, acids, alkalis, high temperatures and humidity.
The first dual-glass solar panel provides high reliability
It offers extensive reliability that allows the company to offer a product warranty of up to 25 years and a power warranty of 30 years. Part of that confidence resting on this item is due to its ability to withstand mechanical loads of up to 5,400 Pa of snow load and 2,400 Pa of wind load.
The lack of a back sheet reduces the use of plastics, improving the recyclability of the module. The NEG18R.28 double-glass module produces up to 505 W of power and provides a high efficiency of 22.7%. It also blends N-type technology with 210 mm rectangular silicon wafer cell technology (210R) and has a longer lifetime, lower light-induced degradation and higher conversion efficiency than P-type panels.
NEG18R.28 is highly compatible with other installation elements, providing a wide range of installation solutions. A comprehensive compatibility analysis has reported that it is also compatible with most inverters, optimizers and mounting systems thanks to its 15.86 A short-circuit current.
All in all, the first double-glass solar panel revolutionizes the market with its 500 W of power, optimal dimensions and rarely seen compatibility. A feat as acclaimed as the solar panel that works indoors, with the advantage that it works even in areas with mountain climates, which have a higher insolation in summer, but much lower in winter.
