The Double Glass Manufacturing Process: Step by Step

Here's the complete workflow used by leading manufacturers:

1. Glass Preparation & Cleaning

Two tempered glass sheets (2.5-3.2mm thick) undergo:

• Ultrasonic cleaning (40-60kHz frequency)
• Surface texturing for light trapping
• Edge grinding precision (±0.1mm tolerance)

2. Cell String Assembly

Using 9BB (9 busbar) or half-cut PERC cells:

• Automatic stringers place 60-144 cells
• 0.2mm EVA interlayer application
• Electroluminescence testing

3. Lamination Process

The critical bonding phase operates at:

Parameter	Value
Temperature	145-155°C
Pressure	0.8-1.2 bar
Cycle Time	18-22 minutes

4. Edge Sealing & Framing

Unlike conventional modules, double glass panels use:

• Silicon-free edge sealing compounds
• Optional aluminum frames (for specific installations)
• IP68-rated junction boxes
