Reliability of Bifacial with transparent backsheet
 Transparent backsheet，average transmittance is about 89%-90%, lower compared with dual glass. But its UV transmittance
- 0.5%, is largely better than dual glass – 50%. So transparent backsheet has better back side protection than dual glass.

Internal Data
Resistance to abrasion
• Glass is inorganic material, which is no abrasion in sand region
• The Outer layer of transparent backsheet is Tedlar film, thus transparent backsheet can withstand falling sand test of
more than 50L, equal to sand abrasion of more than 30 years in desert area

velocity of flow：95mL/s

Glass is mainly composed of silicate and is an amorphous solid with a Transparent backsheet with outer layer Tedlar film has excellent
Mohs hardness of 5.5, which is not afraid of wind and sand abrasion in resistance to abrasion, which can withstand more than 50L falling sand,
nature equal to sand abrasion of more than 30 years in desert area
