4 FAQs about Photovoltaic solar panels without frame

What is a frameless solar panel?

A frameless solar panel has been designed to be aesthetically more pleasing, while still retaining similar efficiency ratings. They are manufactured without aluminum, which results in lower embodied energy. These frames have solar cells arrayed between two layers of glass and hence also called as glass-on-glass panels.

How have frameless solar panels evolved over time?

Frameless solar panels have evolved over time. To add to the aesthetic value of the building, solar engineers first manufactured all black modules. Next came in the frameless panels, after removing the aluminum frame. Today, thinner glass materials are used in manufacturing these frameless modules.

Are thin film solar panels frameless?

Generally thin film modules are frameless. Frameless panels still have some technological challenges to overcome. Cost still remains higher than the conventional modules. The market has come to like these panels as is evident with some of the bigger names like Trina and Canadian Solar being involved in this technology.

Why should you choose frameless solar panels?

The through-bolt mounting also allows for quick installation. The frameless solar panels do not suffer from problems like corrosion of the frames and are also more durable. These frames can also be used for large scale utility installations because of their low cost component.
