SOLAR PV GLASS MANUFACTURING PLANT (CAP: 600 MT/DAY)

[EIRI/EDPR/4510] J.C.: 2726XL

Solar Glass is the term generally used when one wishes to speak of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) cover glass applications. Photovoltaic glass (PV glass) is a technology that enables the conversion of light into electricity. To do so, the glass incorporates transparent semiconductor-based photovoltaic cells, which are also known as solar cells. The cells are sandwiched between two sheets of glass. Photovoltaic glass is not perfectly transparent but allows some of the available light through.

Buildings using a substantial amount of photovoltaic glass could produce some of their own electricity through the windows. The PV power generated is considered green or clean electricity because its source is renewable, and it does not cause pollution. In addition to energy cost savings, potential benefits from the use of photovoltaic glass include reducing the carbon footprint of facilities, contributing to sustainability and consequently, enhancing branding and public relations (PR) efforts.

The heart of a photovoltaic system is the solar cell which receives light from the sun or ordinary daylight and converts the light energy into electrical energy which is then routed into an inverter from where the electrical energy can be used as and when required. The whole assembly is housed in a metal box where the bottom consists of a metal plate on which the solar cell is located. Above the solar cell at a specific is a high light transmitting glass sheet which acts a protection from wind and rain and also focuses sufficient light on to the cell for conversion into electrical energy.
