What are the most important safety requirements for glass-glass PV-modules?
With PV it is common to make comparisons with standard glass-foil panels used for generating energy but the performance of a PV-module and its safety requirements must be considered differently according to its application. PV modules used in BIPV-projects perform several functions in addition to the energy production they are are designed for. A BIPV-module is an integral component of the building façade offering the same security and functions as traditional construction cladding. They must comply with the criteria applicable to curtain walling and cladding in relation to impact, detachment and dynamic/static loads whether used as façades, glazed roofs or pergolas. VIDURSOLAR glass-glass PV modules have been designed to comply with the highest quality and performance standards. The main features and key-point differences to integrate PV-modules in the building façade are: • PV-modules must provide adequate resistance against breakage and therefore both panes in the glass-glass PV-mod
