We have seen cases of glass in PV modules breaking differently, and more often, than it did five years ago. There have been many changes to PV module design and materials in that time. But there is probably no single change that is responsible for the problem. Here we summarize the current thinking on PV glass breakage in utility-scale power plants. We share insights from multiple still-running projects at NREL.
