Photovoltaic glass definition and classification
Photovoltaic glass is a kind of packaging material used in photovoltaic modules, usually used as the cover glass of photovoltaic modules, the cover plate of double-glass components, the backplane glass and the substrate glass of thin film components are widely used, and its role is mainly to protect the battery from moisture and gas oxidation and corrosion electrodes, and extend the service life.
According to the different application scenarios and processes, photovoltaic glass can be divided into ultra-white calendered (embossed) glass and ultra-white float glass.
Second, photovoltaic glass industry development policy
In recent years, the state has introduced a number of policies to encourage the development and innovation of the photovoltaic glass industry. Industrial policies such as "Notice on carrying out the fourth batch of smart photovoltaic Pilot Demonstration Activities", "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the development of the energy electronics Industry", "Notice on promoting the coordinated development of the photovoltaic industrial chain Supply chain", "Matters related to promoting the healthy development of the photovoltaic industrial chain", and "Action Plan for Accelerating the green and low-carbon Innovation and Development of electric power Equipment" provide clarity for the development of the photovoltaic glass industry. The broad market prospect provides a good production and operation environment for enterprises.
The development status of photovoltaic glass industry
Photovoltaic glass is one of the most important materials for photovoltaic modules. In recent years, with the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, market demand has further expanded, related enterprises have introduced foreign advanced technology, vigorously invest in research and development, expand production lines, to achieve photovoltaic glass localization, photovoltaic glass production to achieve steady growth. The "2023-2028 China photovoltaic glass industry market Prospect forecast and future development trend Report" released by the China Business Industry Research Institute shows that China's photovoltaic glass production in 2022 is about 6.42 million square meters, an increase of 8.1%. China Business Industry Research Institute analysts predict that China's photovoltaic glass production will reach 7.11 million square meters in 2023, and further reach 7.5 million square meters in 2024.
With the drive of national policies, the photovoltaic glass industry has achieved rapid development, and all provinces in the country actively layout the photovoltaic industry, and the effective capacity of photovoltaic glass has steadily increased. According to the "2023-2028 China photovoltaic glass industry market Prospect forecast and future development Trend Report" released by the China Business Industry Research Institute, the effective production capacity of photovoltaic glass in China in 2022 reached 8.18 million square meters, an increase of 7.69%. China Business Industry Research Institute analysts predict that in 2023 China's photovoltaic glass effective capacity will reach 8.73 million square meters, 2024 is expected to exceed 9 million square meters.
The "2023-2028 China photovoltaic glass industry market Outlook forecast and future development Trend Report" released by the China Business Industry Research Institute shows that the total demand for photovoltaic glass in 2022 is 14.78 million tons, corresponding to about 40,500 tons of daily demand. China Business Industry Research Institute analysts predict that the total demand for photovoltaic glass in 2023 will reach 22.02 million tons, corresponding to 60,300 tons of daily demand; In 2024, the total demand for photovoltaic glass will increase to 28.52 million tons, corresponding to 78,100 tons of daily demand; In 2025, the total demand for photovoltaic glass will further reach 34.56 million tons, corresponding to 94,700 tons of daily demand.
According to the "2023-2028 China photovoltaic glass industry market Outlook forecast and future development Trend Report" released by the China Business Industry Research Institute, the daily melting demand for photovoltaic glass in 2022 is 51,000 tons/day. China Business Industry Research Institute analysts predict that the daily demand for photovoltaic glass will reach 75,000 tons/day in 2023, the daily demand for solar glass is expected to reach 98,000 tons/day in 2024, and the daily demand for solar glass will exceed 110,000 tons/day in 2025
