New coating technology could reduce glass usage in photovoltaic modules by up to 40%

German startup Exxosqel, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research, has developed a coating technology that strengthens solar glass by targeting microscopic surface cracks. The technology could reduce glass weight by up to 40% and overall PV module weight by approximately 30%.
