Market Snapshot


Solar photovoltaic glass (PV) technology uses the same principle as solar panels that convert light into electricity. Solar PV glass is a highly engineered construction glass which incorporates transparent semiconductor-based photovoltaic/solar cells and can be used for various purposes. Solar PV glass technology is conceived to be highly popular and is progressively replacing conventional building materials in parts such as windows, roofs, skylights, and facades.


The Global Solar PV Glass Market is projected to exhibit an enormous compound annual growth rate of approximately 34% over the forecast period 2018-2023, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR) in an extensive study. The global solar PV glass market was valued at USD 4.5 Bn in 2017 and is expected to catapult to USD 19 Bn by the end of 2023.


Solar PV glass is much more in vogue than its regular counterpart and could conceivably replace traditionally used materials in a few years. Continued rapid cost reduction in solar PV glass technology purveyed by rigorous R&D and accelerated deployment is the economic drive which has spurred the adoption of solar PV glass and consequently stimulated the Global Solar PV Glass Market.


In addition, increasing awareness regarding the benefits of renewable energy solutions coupled with the incessant need to limit environmental degradation has been a key influencer of market growth. Governments in multiple countries have also endeavored towards encouraging the adoption of renewable energy sources, which is likely to reflect positively on the growth of the market.


The advent of green building construction technology, which increasingly exploits solar PV glasses as a part of sustainable construction, also boosts the growth of the Global Solar PV Glass Market.


On the flipside, high installation cost is associated with solar PV glass technology. The cost of installation of solar PV glass technology varies between countries and regions and is generally high in emerging economies and underdeveloped nations.


Efforts are underway to develop almost fully transparent solar PV glass, which would be suitable for use in more applications. The outlay of massive amounts for the same provides opportunities for the growth of the global solar PV glass market.
