What if the PV industry doesn't have new glass production plants?
Thousands of new glass manufacturing plants needed for the growing PV industry. As module prices decline, glass makes an even higher fraction of the PV module cost. Without new glass production PV industry could experience shortage within 20 years. Shortage of glass production could drive up the cost especially of thin-film modules.
How do solar glass technologies differ from traditional solar PV?
The main difference between solar glass technologies and traditional solar photovoltaics (PV) is that the newer panels are built into the structure rather than being added on top.
What is the cost of PV glass?
According to market research company PV InfoLink, quotes for PV glass rose to reach the price of $6.64/㎡ over November and December 2020, with some small-scale suppliers even quoting prices of $7.72/㎡.
Is solar glass still a promising technology?
Despite its potential, solar glass has not yet reached critical mass. However, with new policies set to ease China's solar production constraints, we check in on the state of the solar glass market and the obstacles it is yet to overcome.
What is the Chinese government's initiative related to solar glass?
The explosion in Chinese patents and activity could be explained by the Chinese government’s initiative known as ‘Made in China 2025’. Chinese market brands such as Xinyi Solar, Flat Group, Caihong Group, CNBM, and CSG Holdings seem to be the companies leading the race to take solar glass into mass production and commercialisation.
What was the highest quoted price for PV glass?
Some small-scale suppliers even quoted prices of $7.72/㎡ for PV glass. Over November and December 2020, quotes for PV glass rose to reach the price of $6.64/㎡ according to market research company PV InfoLink.
