Korean researchers propose new design for aluminum frames used in glass-glass bifacial solar modules

Korean researchers propose new design for aluminum frames used in glass-glass bifacial solar modules

Using a surrogate model for finite element analysis, the scientists have designed an aluminum frame for bifacial modules that reportedly minimizes deflection and production costs, without adding too much weight. Deflection can lead to cracking or delamination of ribbons inside the module, resulting in an increase number of damaged cells. July 1, 2024 Lior Kahana
