This work aimed to promote hollow plate as a new type of environmental protection packing products of photovoltaic solar cells. By comparing with corrugated paper box which is the current widespread design of solar cells packaging, the oxidation resistance, fragmentation rate, anti-static effect, cost analysis, etc were comparatively analyzed. The hollow plate box had lower fragmentation rate and higher oxidation resistance and waterproof effect than corrugated box. Although its cost was slightly higher than that of the corrugated box, the cost would be reduced if repeated used because of its long service life. As a new type of packaging materials, hollow plate could be widely used in transport packaging solutions of solar cells.
