1. Superior Weathering Resistance
Dry/wet adhesion: Class 0 standard
High-intensity UV exposure: 1800 kWh/m²
Damp heat UV exposure: 540 kWh/m²
Salt spray resistance: IEC 61701, Level 8
2. Environmental Sustainability
Carbon footprint: ~3.50 kg CO₂e/kg, only 14.5% of aluminum frame emissions
3. Excellent Chemical Resistance
Highly resistant to most acids, alkalis, salts, organic substances, seawater, and humid air
4. Inherent Insulation | Simplified Installation
Traditional aluminum frames require individual module grounding, increasing BIPV complexity and cost
GFRP frames provide excellent insulation, eliminating grounding needs and reducing installation time/cost
Non-interference with electromagnetic waves and non-reflective to radio frequencies, making them ideal for communication-sensitive buildings
5. PID Resistance | Enhanced Efficiency
Volume resistivity up to 1×10¹⁴ Ω·cm (insulating material)
Significantly reduces risk of leakage circuits, minimizing Potential Induced Degradation (PID) and improving power generation efficiency
6. High Elastic Recovery
At tensile strength >990 MPa, demonstrates 100% elastic recovery after stress release with no permanent deformation
7. Matched Thermal Expansion | Structural Integrity
Primary load-bearing glass fibers exhibit similar coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as panel encapsulation materials
Prevents glass cracking (from excessive frame contraction) or seal failure (from excessive frame expansion) in regions with wide temperature fluctuations
