Description

Report Overview

Glass for solar cells is generally used as an encapsulation sheet for solar modules to protect solar cells. After the solar cell is installed in the solar panel, the conversion efficiency will be reduced because the encapsulating glass absorbs and reflects sunlight. Therefore, in order to minimize the reflection and absorption of sunlight so that more sunlight can pass through the protective glass and hit the solar cell, the quality of the encapsulation glass is very important. Because of this unique feature, as the global use of solar energy continues to rise and the installation of solar modules and panels increases, there is an even greater demand for specialized, high-quality and high-transparency solar glass products.Global Glass for Solar Cells key players include Xinyi Solar, FLAT, IRICO Group, CNBM, CSG, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share over 80%.China is the largest market, with a share over 95%, followed by Southeast Asia and India. In terms of product, 3.2mm is the largest segment, with a share about 65%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Dual Glass Module, followed by Single Glass Module.
