The solar photovoltaic glass market was valued at $17.1 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $243.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 30.5% from 2024 to 2033
Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass, often referred to as solar glass or photovoltaic glass, is a specialized type of glass that is used in the construction of solar panels. This type of glass integrates photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. Solar PV glass maximizes the use of available space by turning building surfaces into power-generating assets. Solar PV glass is commonly used in BIPV systems where the glass serves dual purposes of building material and energy generator.
Solar PV glass is designed to be transparent to allow sunlight to pass through and reach the photovoltaic cells underneath. It is made to withstand various environmental conditions such as hail, wind, and temperature fluctuations. The photovoltaic cells embedded within the glass are designed to efficiently convert sunlight into electricity. In addition, solar PV glass can be integrated into building facades, windows, and skylights, allowing for the generation of solar power without the need for additional space.
The major factor responsible for solar photovoltaic glass market growth includes supportive regulations toward installation of solar plants. In addition, the demand for solar glasses is on rise from end-use industries such as residential, commercial, and utility scale pertaining that solar energy is a renewable energy, which causes no pollution and ensures energy saving. High costs involved in installation, storage, and purchase of solar devices are expected to hamper the growth of the market. However, the cost of installing solar PV glass is expected to be higher as compared to traditional building materials or standard solar panels. Surge in demand for renewable energy from emerging economies such as India, China, and Japan, is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the market. The China government is actively promoting solar energy through subsidies, tax incentives, and supportive policies to reduce carbon emissions and combat air pollution. For instance, the China government has implemented a Feed-in Tariff program, which provides financial incentives to solar energy producers, making solar power generation more economically viable and attractive for investors. In addition to the FiT program, the government has offered direct subsidies to solar PV manufacturers and project developers to reduce the initial investment costs and accelerate the deployment of solar energy projects.
The solar photovoltaic glass market is segmented on the basis of type, end-use industry, and region. By type, it is divided into anti-reflective coated glass, tempered glass, TCO glass, and others. By end-use industry, it is divided into residential, commercial, and utility scale. Region-wise, the market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA.
