At 30 €/m 2, pv-glass is already a substantial cost of a module, especially thin-film modules. In addition, transportation costs can be up to 25% of the total cost for glass. This puts enormous cost pressure on logstics and favours therefore glass manufacturers that are close to their customers. [pdf]

Sizes up to 3.000 mm x 1.600 mm and up to 17,5 mm thickness are standard. Bigger sizes and thicknesses to be consulted. Double glazing: Photovoltaic double glazing units with insulation chambers of different sizes can be produced, with U-values down to 1,1 W/m2K. [pdf]
[FAQS about Cyprus double glass photovoltaic curtain wall size]
The cost of PV glass per square meter currently averages at $6. Considering that double-glass PV modules use glass on both sides, the cost of glass alone doubles if compared to glass-foil solar panels. A benefit of most glass-glass solar panels is that they are frameless, which reduces their price. [pdf]
