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.

Why is glass used in solar panels?

In fact, for the majority of solar modules in production, glass is the single largest component by mass and in double glass thin-film PV, and it comprises 97% of the module׳s weight. Glass offers strength, rigidity, environmental stability, and high transmission, all inexpensively.

What are the major markets for flat glass?

The largest markets for flat glass are architectural (88% of the market) and automotive-glass (11%) The solar industry׳s demand for glass is currently less than 2% of the overall market. However, with the huge growth in the solar industry (and moderate growth expected in other glass markets), this situation is changing.

Why do we need float-glass?

Advance planning creates opportunities to obtain low-iron glass at low prices. With the projected growth in photovoltaics the demand of glass for the solar industry will far exceed the current supply, and thousands of new float-glass plants will have to be built to meet its needs over the next 20 years.

How many tons of glass are there in 2021?

The glass capacity in 2021, 2022, and 2023 was 46,000, 81,000, and 105,000 tons, with a year-on-year increase of 35+%, 70+%, and 30+%. As of now, the domestic glass capacity is about 99,000 tons, plus 5,850 tons overseas. In Q1 2024, the industry added 3,100 tons of new capacity and 650 tons of resumption.

How many tons of glass a year?

As of now, the domestic glass capacity is about 99,000 tons, plus 5,850 tons overseas. In Q1 2024, the industry added 3,100 tons of new capacity and 650 tons of resumption.
