Hi Salvo,
You misunderstood I believe. The glass heats in traditional panels and it is a pretty good insulator, so the panel remains hot longer. Part of that is because it is heavier to start with, i.e. more massive.
The Unisolar panels will cool down faster, and radiate better.

The mass of the glass has little effect on heat dissipation. The prominent factor in heat dissipation is surface area. These panels have half the surface area. It's a no-brainer.

Heat dissipation is superior in non glass panels, as they have less mass.
