Solar Photovoltaic Glass Market Research Report Information by Product Type (Anti-reflective (AR) Coated, Transparent Conductive Oxide and Tempered) By Module (Crystalline Silicon Modules, Amorphous Silicon Modules and Thin Film Modules) By Application (Utility, Residential and Non-Residential), and By Region – Industry Forecast to 2030
The Solar Photovoltaic Glass Market is expected to develop at a CAGR of 21.90% from 2024 to 2030. Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass turns sunlight into electricity, allowing structures to produce electricity. It consists of two glass sheets stacked with semiconductor-based cells. PV glass provides thermal and acoustic insulation in addition to allowing natural light in.
It can absorb 99% of UV rays and up to 95% of infrared energy. The glass substrate acts as a semi-transparent or transparent surface, allowing light in while protecting the solar cells from external factors such as dust, weather, and mechanical damage. When sunlight strikes photovoltaic cells embedded in or adhered to glass substrates, they absorb it and generate direct current (DC) power. Using inverters, this DC electricity can be converted into useable alternating current (AC) electricity for a variety of applications.
The global solar energy market is booming, driven by rising demand in both developed and developing countries. The growing use of solar energy as a clean and renewable power source creates a substantial opportunity for the PV glass market. Rising environmental consciousness, government incentives, and energy transition regulations are driving demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, increasing the requirement for PV glass as a crucial component in solar modules. Emerging economies with strong sun irradiation, increasing urbanization, and rising energy demand are untapped areas for solar PV installations.
