Finite Element Analysis of Spontaneous Burst of PV Modules during Encapsulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the experimental research and the finite element analysis are carried out to investigate the spontaneous burst phenomenon of the tempered glasses in the lamination process of the PV modules. The simulation and the relevant analysis demonstrate that the spontaneous burst of the tempered glasses of the PV modules in the lamination process is closely associated with the toughening quality and the camber or bending of the glass. It is revealed by the simulation and experiments that the application of the unqualified toughened and camber or bending glasses is one of the main reasons of the spontaneous burst phenomenon in the lamination process of the PV modules.
