Absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries have traditionally been used as car batteries, but in certain cases, they can be a solid choice as an energy backup system or paired with solar panels. In this article, we’ll discuss what AGM batteries are and when they might be the right choice for you. [pdf]
The photovoltaic industry is increasingly using thinner glass in solar panels, with thicknesses often below 2.0 mm, compared to previous standards of 3.2 mm and 2.5 mm1. This trend aims to reduce weight and material costs, but it raises concerns about glass breakage due to the reduced durability of thinner glass3. While thinner glass can enhance efficiency and integration in building designs, it is not fully tempered, which may affect its resilience4. Overall, the shift towards thinner glass reflects advancements in technology but also necessitates careful consideration of durability5. [pdf]
