MIGO 1.6mm low iron solar glass is designed for lightweight PV modules, BIPV systems and solar applications requiring efficient solar energy conversion with reduced module weight. The glass can be supplied with custom sizes, edge processing, tempering and export packaging according to project requirements.
Products Overview
1.6mm low iron solar glass is an ultra-thin solar glass option for applications where module weight, module efficiency and lightweight performance need to be considered together. Compared with thicker glass options, 1.6mm glass can help reduce total module weight and support lightweight PV or BIPV product design.Ultra-thin glass tempering requires strict roller wave and flatness control during production.
Key Features & Benefits
•Ultra-Thin 1.6mm Design
Compared with traditional 2.0mm or 2.5mm solar glass, the 1.6mm ultra-thin version helps reduce the overall weight of solar modules when properly integrated into suitable PV module structures. This makes it a practical choice for lightweight and high-efficiency module designs.
•Excellent Light Transmittance
Produced with high-quality low-iron solar glass, the glass offers strong optical performance and allows more sunlight to pass through to the solar cells, helping improve overall energy efficiency.

Manufacturing Process Flow of 1.6mm Low Iron Solar Glass
With advanced equipment, strict quality control, and years of experience in solar glass manufacturing, MIGO SOLAR GLASS provides reliable 1.6mm low iron solar glass solutions to customers worldwide.
1. Glass Cutting
Equipment: Glass Cutting Machine
High-precision cutting machines are used to ensure accurate dimensions and clean cutting edges. Tight tolerance control at this stage is essential for downstream processing of ultra-thin solar glass.
2. Glass Edge Grinding
Equipment: Edge Grinding Machine
All glass edges are finely ground to reduce micro-cracks and improve mechanical strength. Proper edge processing significantly lowers the risk of breakage during tempering and module lamination.It also helps improve tempering stability and glass flatness for ultra-thin solar glass applications.
3. Glass Cleaning and Drying
Equipment: Cleaning and Drying Machine
Multiple-stage washing and drying remove glass dust, grinding residues, and surface contaminants. Clean glass surfaces are critical for optical performance, coating adhesion, and stable tempering results.
4. Glass Tempering
Equipment: Ultra-Thin Glass Tempering Furnace
Tempering is the most critical step in producing 1.6mm ultra-thin solar glass. Compared with conventional tempering furnaces, ultra-thin glass requires far more precise thermal and process control to avoid warping, distortion, or breakage.
Buyer Notes
1.6mm solar glass is a good option for projects where reducing weight is important. Before choosing ultra-thin glass, it's important to confirm that the module design, frame system, and overall project requirements are compatible. MIGO can help review your project specifications and provide recommendations before quotation.
