Thin-Film Embedded Solar Glass is an advanced photovoltaic technology that integrates thin-film solar cells—such as CdTe, CIGS, or perovskite—directly into architectural glass panels. It enables seamless energy generation within building elements like windows, facades, and skylights, making it a core component of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).
The global Solar Photovoltaic Glass market was valued at approximately USD 5017.30 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7699.15 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.4%.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass typically refers to glass that forms an integrated solar power system by bonding it to PV modules such as crystalline silicon solar cells. This type of glass is typically used in large-scale photovoltaic power plants or rooftop installations and has a high photovoltaic conversion efficiency. In contrast, thin-film embedded solar glass forms an integrated photovoltaic material by embedding thin-film solar cells (e.g., materials such as CdTe, CIGS, or chalcogenide) directly into the glass. This technology incorporates solar energy conversion functionality into building materials with higher aesthetic and functional advantages, and is particularly suitable for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems.
Innovations in materials such as Perovskite, CdTe and CIGS have improved efficiency and flexibility, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). Countries such as Japan are investing heavily (e.g., $1.5 billion) to commercialize ultra-thin, flexible photoresist solar cells to reduce dependence on traditional energy sources and challenge global competitors. The trend toward building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is accelerating, with thin-film solar glass being used in windows, facades, and roofs, combining aesthetics with functionality.
Thin-film solar glass is gaining traction as the technology is lightweight, flexible, and offers more design versatility than traditional silicon-based solar panels. The thin-film solar glass market is expected to witness significant growth, especially in the upstream supply chain (e.g., raw materials and production technologies) as well as in the downstream markets of construction, real estate, and renewable energy projects. Increasing efficiency, innovations in new materials, and favorable government policies will drive wider adoption of the technology in various industries in the coming years.
The development of tandem solar cells stacked with multilayer photovoltaic materials has improved energy conversion efficiency and made thin-film technology more competitive. Despite the challenges, the thin film photovoltaic market is expected to account for 10-12% of the global solar energy market by 2035, driven by technological advancements and growing demand for renewable energy solutions.
