Several important factors are driving this growth, including the growing number of photovoltaic module installations, increased demand for high-transmission glass for use in solar panels, and developments in anti-reflective and tempered solar glass for improved durability and efficiency.
The trends in the solar glass market suggest that the increase in demand for high-transmission and durable products that optimize energy conversion efficiency will continue. In order to respond to that demand, manufacturers are expanding their manufacturing capacity, particularly as solar module manufacturers continue to ramp up in multiple regions. Another trend is the continuing integration of solar glass into building-integrated photovoltaics applications. Additional opportunities for solar glass growth will emerge as urban development shifts toward sustainable building, including facades, skylights, and green building designs.
Developments in solar glass products reveal progress in lightweight ultra-thin glass that decreases module weight while also enhancing energy yield. These Developments indicate increased focus on expanding product offerings targeted to bifacial and double-glass modules. Beyond product developments, market changes in solar glass involve lower production costs based on increased manufacturing automation, recycling advancements, and strategic partnership development with other manufacturing organizations. The improved partnership between glass producers and manufacturers of solar photovoltaic modules is propelling more rapid technology adoption and supply chain management efforts.
