The Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics (CSP) and the start-up Exxosqel have developed a glass-glass solar module whose front and rear lenses are only one millimeter thick. A special glass coating is used to compensate for the lower mechanical strength associated with thinner glass covers. "The developed thin glass module is currently only a demonstration model", explained Ringo Köpge, scientist at Fraunhofer CSP, compared to the pv maga…
