The white grid is set at the cell gap. The sunlight incident from the front can be reflected again at the white grid in the cell gap, increasing the incident effect of sunlight and improving the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module. However, with the continuous advancement of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the photovoltaic industry, photovoltaic glass has become thinner, and the problem of silk screen technology affecting glass strength has gradually become prominent. Since the strength of the glass will decrease at the silk screen printing, the current glass cost reduction and thinning has reached its limit, and the use of silk screen technology will not meet the glass strength requirements.
