[FAQS about What is needed to make photovoltaic glass]
Photovoltaic glass is often a type of tempered glass. Specifically, the encapsulated glass used in solar photovoltaic modules is typically low-iron tempered glass, which is designed to meet high transmittance requirements for solar energy2. While photovoltaic glass provides excellent transparency and protects solar cells, it is generally not as strong as standard tempered glass3. Thus, while they are related, they are not exactly the same; photovoltaic glass is a specialized form of tempered glass used in solar applications. [pdf]
