4 FAQs about Glue new photovoltaic module bracket

Why do PV modules need a good thickness?

Proper thickness facilitates the installation of the sealant and allows reduced sealant stress from differential thermal movement between the PV laminate and the supporting structure. The structural bite requirement is directly proportional to the wind load on the PV module and the dimensions of the module.

How do PV modules work?

PV modules are commonly mounted in aluminum frames to be mechanically attached to the supporting structure. The edges of the PV laminate (glass/backsheet or glass/glass) are inserted into the cavity of a U-profile. A silicone sealant is used for fixing the laminate inside the frame and ensuring water tightness.

What is fortasuntm pv-8030 adhesive?

FortasunTM PV-8030 Adhesive is a high-performance alkoxycure silicone adhesive designed to provide long-term bonding and to protect against moisture, environmental degradation, and mechanical and thermal shock. It is specifically recommended for structural bonding to attach typical PV substrates.

Do PV modules need to be validated?

All frame designs require validation by the module manufacturers via appropriate technical qualification tests (as detailed in the section about quality control). PV modules are commonly mounted in aluminum frames to be mechanically attached to the supporting structure.
