Overview of the Market
During the projected period (2024- 2030), the solar photovoltaic glass market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.90%. Buildings may now produce power thanks to solar photovoltaic (PV) glass, which turns sunlight into electricity. It is made up of semiconductor-based cells sandwiched between two sheets of glass. PV glass lets in natural light and provides acoustic and thermal insulation.
It can absorb up to 95% of infrared energy and 99% of UV radiation. The glass substrate acts as a translucent or semi-transparent surface that lets light in while protecting the solar cells from weather, dust, and mechanical damage. Photovoltaic cells embedded in or mounted to glass substrates absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) power. This DC electricity can be converted into useable alternating current (AC) electricity for a number of applications with the help of inverters.

The market for solar energy is growing internationally due to rising demand from both developed and developing nations. The market for PV glass has a lot of potential due to the growing use of solar energy as a clean and renewable power source. PV glass, a crucial part of solar modules, is becoming more and more necessary as the demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations is driven by government incentives, energy transition plans, and growing environmental awareness. Untapped markets for solar PV installations are emerging economies with high levels of solar radiation, fast urbanization, and rising energy demands.
