Technical FAQs 4

How big is the Solar Photovoltaic Glass market?

Image © Mordor Intelligence. Reuse requires attribution under CC BY 4.0. The solar photovoltaic glass market size reached 32.10 million tons in 2025 and is forecast to reach 74.75 million tons by 2030, advancing at an 18.42% CAGR between 2025 and 2030.

How much solar energy does commercial glass produce?

Base-line commercial glass has a solar transmission of 83.7%. I.e. 16.3% of the sun's energy do not even get to the PV material. The energy loss is due - in equal parts - to reflection on the surface and absorption within the glass due to iron impurities. The density of glass is about 2,500 kg/m 3 or 2.5kg/m 2 per 1mm width.

What is the market size of Solar Photovoltaic Glass in 2024?

By manufacturing process, float lines delivered 68% of 2024 volume; rolled glass is forecast to post a 19.70% CAGR to 2030. By solar technology, crystalline silicon held 91% share of the solar photovoltaic glass market size in 2024, whereas CIGS cells are expected to grow at 23.61% CAGR between 2025 and 2030.

How will the Solar Photovoltaic Glass market continue to grow?

Competitive strategies range from Chinese producers expanding commodity capacity to Western incumbents investing in circularity, low-carbon furnaces, and specialty coatings. These shifts together position the solar photovoltaic glass market for resilient growth throughout the decade.
