Introduction to the Development Trends of photovoltaic glass

Nov 24, 2025

The development trends of photovoltaic glass are as follows:

1. Technological breakthroughs towards extremity and integration: Thinning will continue to deepen, with 1.0mm-level products expected to gradually enter mass production. At the same time, the light transmittance target will move towards over 95%. The compatibility research and development of perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem technology is accelerating, and the future mass production efficiency is expected to exceed 28%. Moreover, flexible and bendable photovoltaic glass will make further breakthroughs, with the bending radius reduced to adapt to special scenarios such as curved buildings and car roofs.

2. Application scenarios expand towards diversification: BIPV is the core growth point. In the future, the photovoltaic coverage rate of new public buildings will increase, and photovoltaic glass will replace traditional doors, Windows and curtain wall materials, becoming the "energy skin" of buildings. In the agricultural field, spectrally selective photovoltaic glass will be widely used in greenhouses, taking into account both the light and power generation needs of crops. The application of photovoltaic skylights and bus stop sunshades in the transportation sector will also be rapidly popularized. The market size related to photovoltaic Windows is expected to reach 12 billion yuan by 2030.

3. Industry structure and cost optimization: The approval of new capacity on the supply side is tightening. The compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2030 is expected to be about 8%, and the daily melting volume is expected to reach 100,000 tons by 2030. The concentration of leading enterprises will further increase. With the optimization of production processes and the effect of scale, costs will continue to decline. Coupled with the penetration rate of double-glass modules rising to over 60%, the industry will form a stable pattern of dynamic balance between supply and demand. At the same time, overseas layout will accelerate to cover overseas demand markets such as the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
