First Solar modules are designed to assure their safety under any foreseeable use or event.
-
Front (Substrate) Glass
Heat strengthened through a quenching process to withstand handling and thermally induced stresses and avoid breakage over the 25+ year module life.
-
Semiconductor
Compound semiconductor forms a strong molecular bond that is not readily soluble or combustible.
-
Metal Conductor
Provides an additional seal between the semiconductor and the environment, even if the glass were to break or crack.
-
EVA
Used to bond the cover glass to the substrate over the 25+ year anticipated life of the module, sealing the photovoltaic device from the environment.
-
Back (Cover) Glass
Tempered to withstand handling and thermally induced stresses and avoid breakage over the 25+ year module life.
