In a highly competitive solar industry, cost of production, handling, and installation gives the business an edge over competitors. Modern PV modules often use thinner glass to reduce weight and material costs. As per NREL study, while panels commonly used 3.2-mm-thick glass earlier, modern double-glass modules often feature 2-mm glass.
