The PV industry will need a significant amount of glass annually for 3.4 TW of PV production. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaics (ITRPV),40 the efficiency of TOPCon and silicon heterojunction cells is expected to range from 22% to 24% over the next ten years. [pdf]
[FAQS about How much glass does photovoltaic use in a year]
The amount of photovoltaic glass required is significant and increasing:In 2021, 2022, and 2023, the glass capacity was 46,000 tons, 81,000 tons, and 105,000 tons, respectively, with a year-on-year increase of over 30%1.Current solar photovoltaic installations require approximately 89 million tonnes of glass annually, while actual production is only about 24 million tonnes, indicating a substantial supply shortfall2.Future projections suggest that fully double glass-based PV production will require amounts exceeding today's overall annual glass production of 84 million tonnes as early as 20343.This data highlights the growing demand and production challenges in the photovoltaic glass sector.
