Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass is a technologically advanced glass product designed to convert sunlight into electricity. Incorporating embedded solar cells, this innovative material combines the practicality of providing transparency and protective barriers typical of conventional glass with the unique ability to generate renewable energy. This sustainable solution is increasingly utilized in facades, skylights, and other architectural features, playing a crucial role in advancing energy-efficient building designs and contributing to the global evolution towards renewable energy sources. The global market for solar PV glass has witnessed substantial growth driven by increasing environmental awareness, governmental incentives for green building projects, and the escalating demand for sustainable energy sources. However, high initial investment costs, technological complexities associated with integration into existing structures, and the reliance on weather conditions can affect energy production consistency, hindering market adoption. Nevertheless, technological advancements in PV glass manufacturing, the rise in smart city projects, and the push towards zero-energy buildings create lucrative opportunities for integrating solar PV glass.
